<p>[QUOTE="Lord Geoff, post: 1798748, member: 42001"]I doubt many of us are offended by this considering the source, but it is extremely rude to follow this pattern of conversation</p><p> </p><p>A: Hey I have an idea!

Putting aside your sketchy background, just look at supply and demand. As one fellow pointed out, most people are either going to not take the time to have their coins appraised or are going to do the most basic research, that being google or hitting up a forum or coin shop for appraisal. So what group are you providing a service to? Beyond that, how is this group going to find you? These questions might not be a huge problem if you were the only game in town, but I'm sure there are thousands providing the same service (and most coin shops count).</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, rather than being all like "Don't trash my idea! Steve Jobs and light bulbs and stuff!!!", why don't you actually consider the one positive post in this thread about your abilities? Your photography business would have a fighting chance of at least making you some pocket money.</p><p> </p><p>BTW in my opinion it is very rude to leave people hanging on an ethical issue which you brought up in the first place. If you ignore all of their requests for feedback on what decision was made they can only draw two conclusions A) he did what he knows he will get backlash for or B) he is too rude to take the time to respond. Just sayin, we want to know what happened to the books.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
