If a thread continues past a page, someone else might believe the quote and continue the imaginary comments, as MANY of our posters only read the last post and not the ones in between. I am sure if someone did it to you, I would hear about it. Chill indeed.
When discussing buying ethics I think it's important to make a distinction between paying someone's asking price vs. offering your desired price. For example, a dealer specializing in US coins putting up a $1,000 foreign coin for $50 as an eBay buy it now vs. walking into grandma/grandpa's yard sale and offering 2x face value on their US silver. Of course there are a thousand scenarios in between, but it's wrong to apply a single set of ethics across all such situations.
If anyone read that and believed that kozak was going to jail for 5 years for posting on their thread then they are an idiot. It was just a joke and I'm sure everyone recognized it as such. Please go bother someone else. Perhaps you could bother kozak for when he made a joke saying the 1915 quarter eagle I had was a rare overdate variety. I didn't see you raise hell in that thread.
Yeah , and "everyone else was speeding, so why stop me". I do not believe anyone believed that, but they may have believed that another member ( judge) had made that quote and react to that. But it was wrong. It was untrue. Sorry sir, it was no bother
if he makes $1150-$1750, great for him. he did not say where he bought them from, so we cant assume he ripped off an old person. maybe they were priced for $200 at a flea market or on ebay, or maybe someone offered them to him for that price.
You're missing the point. Nobody thought anybody was going to jail (or even CoinTalk jail). The point was that editing replies in that way (appearing to quote a nonexistent message) leads to confusion, and can be malicious. Please don't do it.
