Very friendly. But doesn't remember you or who you are no matter how many times you stop in to the shop and introduce yourself and do business transactions...
Buys items at an ok price.
He is very knowledgeable and he knows precisely what things are worth. He works with graders from professional grading companies to get his quotes so he knows what to offer to you so he can still make money.
His negotiation is to tell you that you don't know the pricing and that you spent too much or are over valuing it.

I moved to northern Pinellas county and asked him if I decided to sell a collection where should I go to get a fair price and knowledgeable staff.
He said he has known Dale since 1980. Even though Dale is no longer the owner, he said Dale's coins was still one of his top favorites in Pinellas County based on Dale's original values.
