[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7787850, member: 115909"]First of all I said Native American objects don’t count since it’s not the same thing. Native American objects don’t tend to sell for a fortune like coins do. So what the person will return the $10 Native American arrowheads they bought? That’s different than confiscating a coin that costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Or millions. Secondly: It’s not trolling. It’s just a fact. If an American buys say a $10,000 Ancient Roman coin and US Customs confiscates it and gives it back to Italy that’s just basically a legalized form of theft. If they didn’t want it to be that way they would pay reimbursement to the original buyer in exchange for the “cultural heritage” being returned. Remember: Just because someone thinks differently from you doesn’t mean they are trolling.[/QUOTE]
