<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 614213, member: 3011&quot;]If someone asks you &quot;how much is this worth,&quot; and you offer $15 knowing it is worth $100, it&#039;s basically a combination of lying and theft.&nbsp; I think the same goes for situations where it is obvious the seller just doesn&#039;t understand the situation such as the classic story of the little old lady disposing of her late husband&#039;s collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a bank teller accepts silver coins at face value, they certainly have an ethical responsibility to tell the customer.&nbsp; Whether it is theft or not depends on the bank policy about employees cashing out coins with bullion or numismatic values above face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone holds themselves out as a dealer in goods, whether at a store front, flea market or garage sale, they have a responsibility to know what they are selling and what the market will pay, and I have less of a problem with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ethics is a pretty old fashioned concept.&nbsp; My observation is that the younger a person is, the fewer ethics they have, so I guess it has to do with the schools and parenting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
