Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2550285, member: 36230"]First, with Green's stated example, no one in their right mind would return it as a counterfeit at the original price, but this is why I added that it's up to the individual dealer if he wishes to "buy as scrap as part of or in addition to the (original) refund". It is up to the dealer what he wishes to do, but the fact stands that his responsibility under the guarantee does not stretch beyond the original amount paid, period, but again this does not mean he will not or cannot go above and beyond it. In fact I would also argue that doing so is good business, but this doesn't change what the guarantee means or what his responsibilities are under it. Really, what we're talking about are two connected yet very separate issues. Again, we could switch this around and instead of in the 70's, let's say Green made this purchase in 2011 at gold's high point. This board would erupt in furor at the mere thought of a dealer willing only to buy back at today's scrap prices, and rightfully so, but it works both ways. Just as it's not his responsibility to refund at today's value simply because it's significantly higher than at the time of purchase, he also cannot rightly expect to refund at today's lower prices if the original price paid was higher.[/QUOTE]
