<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1146622, member: 29643&quot;]Wait... so, he&#039;s a millionaire and that makes it alright to rip him off. I get it now. Seriously... go tell your friend that the coin is worth $1000 and ask his dad if he&#039;d like it back. He might say to keep it anyway, but at least you&#039;ll be doing the right thing. If you rip off your friends like this, I would assume you rip off strangers with even less concern for what is right/wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually had a situation like this. I bought a baseball card from my friend for $20. It turned out to be worth $800. At the time that I bought it, I didn&#039;t know. I told him about it and asked if he wanted the card back or to sell/split the profit. He told me to keep it, since I needed it for my collection. I pointed out that I needed the $20 version, not the $800 version. I ended up selling it for $500. My friend refused to take the money from me, so I took his family out for a nice dinner. It&#039;s what friends do. At least in my world.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, maybe I think too highly of people, but when this happens, I tell the people. One guy was selling Mercury dimes for $5 = 10 coins a week ago. I told him that the spot value was worth around 5-6 times that, and numismatic could be even more. The seller said it&#039;s okay. I asked if they would have a problem with $15 for the 10 coins, since I didn&#039;t want to pay full price, but I also didn&#039;t want to rip them off. They were happy with that. As a result, they showed me other stuff they had for sale too. Honesty usually pays off in life. Then again, that&#039;s probably why I get ripped off more than others, too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
