<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 540619, member: 6370&quot;]I agree...To me cherry picking just means going through a bunch of coins and finding the ones that are special to you or what you are looking for.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For me shows are frustrating because in my neck of the woods its mostly American coins and world coins are often thrown into a bunch of boxes or bucket and I have to sit there and go through them...thats cherry picking for me...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I sat at a guys booth for about an hour, he sold tokens and medals...I went through and found all the notgeld he had that he figured were tokens...and I got a few tokens as well...that was cherry picking notgeld out of boxes of tokens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the end, if someone asks me what they have, I will always be completely honest and the value I quote will be the highest (retail) and maybe above what some might think the condition calls for...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone is in the business of selling and I find a &#039;deal&#039; then I will buy it...I wont be sneaky, I will just buy it...and walk away.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a person came to me and wanted me to buy a coin from them but doesn&#039;t know how much its worth...I will tell them the value and then how much I will pay, take it or leave it. If they come to me asking a price thinking its worth that much and its actually worth more? and they dont ask me what I think...I will buy it at the price they offered.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have bought coins quite often that ended up being worth far more...I bought a rare notgeld that the seller though was a cheap token...I have also passed on a notgeld coin thinking the price was way too high...later I find out it was a rare example of that coin and the price it sold for was well below the actual value (although value is, in the end, what people will pay for it). I have also bought a coin for far more than it was worth because I just liked the coin and later find that its common and worth much less than I bought it for.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Once I passed on a medal (inflation hunger medal) that I thought was priced too high and later find that it was, in fact...rather cheap and I have since been unable to find one just like it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So...I guess what I am saying is...its case by case...on the whole I will cherry pick a dealer...I will tell individuals, on the whole, what they have...unless they act like they know exactly what they have and dont need my help, then I will keep my mouth shut. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Then again I was told by at least one person here that I lack morals <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
