<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bg1856, post: 668843, member: 19879&quot;]ok since we have decided to twist this thread into an ethics class.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lets assume that I walk into a BM dealer with an inherted coin that I know nothing about.&nbsp; The dealer looks over the coin and determines that it would be a great addition to his inventory and that he could easily sell the coin for lets say $1000.&nbsp; Offers me $700 for the coin.&nbsp; (I would not imagine as this being that far of given the spread needed to maintain a shop and overhead.)&nbsp; So I accept the $700 and go on my way.&nbsp; 5 minutes later I come back in the store and proceed to tell the dealer that I think I made a mistake and that I would like to have the coin back as I believe I could sell for more on Ebay. Should the dealer give the coin back in exchange for the $700?&nbsp; What about 5 days later, 5 weeks later, or even 5 months.&nbsp; Should a dealer that buys coins from the public be &quot;ethically obligated&quot; to give the coins back that they purchase from individuals in exchange for the money they paid because the original seller comes in a said they made a mistake. In my opinion, the duration of time that occurs after consumation of the deal (money changes hands) is irrrelevent and to think otherwise is a tad bit hyprocritical.&nbsp; Yes, I will agree I got a good deal and proud that the seller followed through.&nbsp; But you know what, I am just as proud that there are people out there who honor contracts and believe that once they agree to something they follow through.&nbsp; This Country has enough people at the present that are trying to bust out of mortgages, contracts, car loans, credit card balances, etc.&nbsp; I thought it would be nice to mention that I just happened to find a seller who instead of arguing and looking for a way out of the deal with determination, decided to uphold their end up the contract.
