This week I went to one of those Jewelry Exchange places where they buy & sell jewelry, precious metals, bullion & coins. I was only there for literally a minute when an old lady in her 70's walks up to a person behind the counter & hands him a list.
I'm about 20 feet away but I hear her say, "I have all these coins I want to get rid of. Here's a list. Call me with your offer. It would be great if you would just take them all!"
The guy says, "Well, where are the coins? In your car?"
"Oh God no." she exclaims! It would take many car loads to bring them all here.
She then walks out.
The guy with the list shows it to another guy behind the counter. That guy says to the first, "You know we have to look at these coins before we can make an offer." They both then walk into the back where no doubt the real money-man sits.
This all happened within 2 minutes tops. Part of me wanted to follow the lady out & talk with her, but I felt weird doing that. I wish I knew what was on that list!
Does this happen often?
