[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 2302234, member: 21015"]This kind of situation rarely has an easy answer. Many people here are right, there is a difference between friends/family and people conducting a business transaction. There are many people who make a decent living going around and cherrypicking dealers for varieties or potential upgrades and I don't see anything wrong with that. If I as a seller don't do my research on a coin, then it is my fault if someone picks me off. Doesn't mean I would be happy, I would just have to be upset with myself. On the other hand, if a person, even a dealer that I considered a friend picked my inventory, it would bother me. The problem is that if you go back to him and tell him you now have the risk of either embarrassing him, or flat out making him not want to deal with you. You have to decide if it was a business deal or a personal deal. I definitely wouldn't go back and tell them in a way that would make them uncomfortable. If you ever sell the coin and reap the benefit of your research(and you still even associate with this person) you could throw them a portion then, or buy them a nice burger.:D[/QUOTE]
