<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3879642, member: 19463&quot;]Some will say it is good business to sell high even if your customers are too stupid to realize they are being made the fool.&nbsp; Some will work for their living; some will scheme. I doubt that all here even agree on which is the better course.&nbsp; If the coins shown in the photo is representative of what they will send buyers, they are providing a service making available ancient coins to those who do not know they exist. What would you estimate to be a fair addition (value added?) to the, lets say, $20 fair market value of the coin?&nbsp; How many will they have to sell to pay for the ad?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have trouble accepting this as the way things ought to be but it is the way things are.&nbsp; I am of the opinion that the seller that brought Ancient Joe to the hobby probably ran off several times as many kids convincing them that coin collecting is a stupid waste of money.&nbsp; Whose daughter was it that said, &quot;Let me understand this, dad, you are buying coins you can&#039;t spend???&quot;&nbsp; If all of us who have been made a fool by a scam or questionable coin seller were to go away mad, we would have very few here to complain how bad they are.&nbsp;&nbsp; How often here on CT do we tell a first time poster they bought a fake or paid way too much for a piece of junk?&nbsp; A few of them stick around and become valuable members of the CT family.&nbsp; For this, we are glad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
