<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3155540, member: 96515"]You are right about integrity. I know there will be that temptation. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. But I know myself will enough and she knows me well enough that there is trust there. And of course I would never violate that. What I'm thinking of doing is calculating cost of materials after I sort then and before I start to put things into flips and tubes. Then I'll offer a price probably slightly over blue book value for some coins I want. I have no interest in being compensated for my time. Knowing her she will probably tell me to take more than that, so yes I'm sure my integrity will be rewarded. I'll also try to offer to buy the whole lot at a fair price but I have to guess that there is enough sentimental value that they will probably refuse. But I have to try. To give you a little background here, this woman is disabled. Almost completely bed ridden. My wife takes care of her and I help with that at times. Occasionally when I have to do her shopping for groceries I will pay for them myself because I know she is on a very limited budget and she has caught me a couple times, so she has also been over generous with me which I usually have to kindly refuse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
