Do you have ever have those days where everyone seems to crawl out of the woodwork wanting to take money off you?

Well to be fair i scoured another stall before i set my own up and bagged these 3 silver spoons for myself which will be going into the cuttelry draw with all my other silver utensils, i was happy with the price and decided to setup.

I was setup no more than 20 mins and didnt even have a coffee when one of my long term customers came by and dropped a bag with about 50 packs with each containing brilliant uncirculated coins, he said ring me and let me know so the coffee run was scrapped and i spent the next hour looking up prices and trying to deal with customers at the same time. I did have a healthy float for buying but my pal had me a little rocked as i wasnt sure what he wanted but after a quick call we had settled a price and to make things better he said i will see you next week.

An hour after this and i had only sold enough to cover my rent and then came up another regular with a few silver coins, i asked him what he wanted & said fine. He has got me few coins that are not pictured as they are in cases at the moment, only a matter of seconds and someone was chirping i have these coins at that my moment i felt my eyes roll wondering what fresh hell was gonna happen but this turned out to be half a dozen coins and not worth anything.

I did get a short rest and a few sales before i was ambushed again for money, this time was the last for the day thankfully and was a little bit of scrap silver and i feel like i over offered when i was told by them i was paying nearly twice as much as the local pawn shop, i dont mind this so much as i know such places can be really cruel with prices and i want to pay a fair price but profit should not be a dirty word.

The day did start to turn with several customers buying handsomely with the odd crackpot inbetween including the woman who i wanted scream at who thought she could travel back in time, all in all it was a good day but i feel like my brain has melted and now i am going to watch England play football and have a few whisky treats.
