<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1053934, member: 21705&quot;]That was a nice gesture. I have often considered the ethics of special knowledge in cherry picking. The ethics of the above described situation to me would boil down to how the customer approached him. Did he seek an offer or ask for an evaluation? A fair offer is 50-80% of retail to me, depending on how long I expect the item to be held in inventory. This would be for UNATTRIBUTED coins which they are. If I was asked to evaluate the coins and I agreed, then attribution is part of the process and the act is simply correcting a mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now special knowledge has generally been considered proprietary and thus ethically something from which you may profit. It is in this vein that I can cherrypick in good conscience. It is also the reason that I sometimes pay too much for a coin which turns out not to be the variety I was thinking it was. I do not consider it ethical to ask for a refund. </p><p><br /></p><p>In either event, the customer and all he comes into contact with will feel much safer doing business with him in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
