Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 8356678, member: 26302"]I find it best, if not for anyone else, to pay what is fair so you can sleep at night. A local world dealer offers me what comes in. I usually buy most he offers me, and if I have to tell him what he is asking is too high I do. I am comfortable with him, most dealers if it's unreasonable I simply pass. However, more than once he has asked something like $150 and I tell him, "I can't do that John, but I can pay you $400." Some will call me a fool, but if I buy a coin I know would sell at any auction for $600 up, I cannot sleep giving him $150. Sure, he might have paid less. None of my business, I should pay a fair price since he is trusting me for guidance. I think you did well sir, your integrity is worth more than any coin, especially concerning a friend. My favorite quote I bastardized is "there is always another coin". It's the pursuit of coins and knowledge we are here for. Compromising your morals is not worth it.[/QUOTE]
