It isn&#039;t my fault that they care more about taking in peoples scraps and running a scrap business or only caring about U.S. and Bullion coins to assign one of their employees to go through the bin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Further more I offered to work for them a year ago when I was unemployed and needing work, I offered them that I have a passion for Antiques, Jewelry, and World Coins and that I could bring my World Coin knowledge to the table and would love to learn everything that they could teach me. If they had hired me I would inform them of anything that I found before purchasing from them. But as a customer they are not privy to my my acquired knowledge or time invested into my hobbies and I will purchase from them as any other Business establishment at the advertised price, my moral obligation is fully met. As a customer I tell many people about their fair trade practices and encourage business their way when ever I can, also I give them books or things that I think they could use and purchase all of my coin supplies from them, plus some of their other items in the cases and jewelry from time to time. (Sorry, you can not guilt trip me on this one) Also note that if I were going to choose to buy coins from a non-business, such as a friend or stranger I would consider it my duty as a numismatist to inform them of the most honest value that I could before engaging in a transaction. I.E. a guy I know from NJ showed me 3 boxes full of binders of old silver U.S. coins of every kind, left to him from his mother and told me he only wanted $300 for all of them. I told him he is crazy and they are probably worth $1000&#039;s and that if he wanted he can send me portions at a time to sell off for him at a 80% him/ 20% me cut of the profits, he said he would be willing to do 50/50 and I told him I do not believe that is fair and that my standard is 20%. But in this case of the 20 Franc, I do not feel any obligation beyond their asked for price and I have spent years of time searching and visiting and even leaving empty handed or just with supplies. So no, my time is valuable and so is my knowledge![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
