<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 2346856, member: 22004&quot;]There are too many assumptions in your remarks to rebut; the assumption that people are fully informed, can and did do the research before buying or selling, etc..&nbsp; I have taken care of and known many people that are impaired, on medications, and need a lot of help when making decisions.&nbsp;&nbsp; So don&#039;t give me this crap about everyone being fully responsible for their good or bad decisions!&nbsp; A large percentage of the population are on medications, do not have the intelligence or experience to make accurate assessment as to value, fairness and reasonable buying and selling terms.&nbsp; Add to this dozens and dozens of tricks to deceive, misrepresent, take other people&#039;s hard earned assets and wealth or that of their trusted family members.&nbsp; Fraud nullifies all contracts.&nbsp; (<a href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/91/426/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/91/426/" rel="nofollow">https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/91/426/</a>) So if someone obtains other people&#039;s possessions through the tools of deceit, the law does not protect them.&nbsp; Plus I know many dealers who are too lazy to value what they buy and when they go to sell do not know how to price the items thus losing money.&nbsp; For those who are in the business of buying and selling properly as expert there is no excuse. There are plenty of people around the thieving dealers who know what they are doing, and they are despised for their practices.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Another example, Littleton coin, a company known for lowball offers decided they could not &quot;steal&quot; this collection without possible negative consequences: <a href="https://www.littletoncoin.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Display%7C10001%7C10001%7C-1%7C%7CLearnNav%7C1866-20-Dollar-Gold-Certificate-Held-by-One-Family-for-Four-Generations.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.littletoncoin.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Display%7C10001%7C10001%7C-1%7C%7CLearnNav%7C1866-20-Dollar-Gold-Certificate-Held-by-One-Family-for-Four-Generations.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.littletoncoin.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Display|10001|10001|-1||LearnNav|1866-20-Dollar-Gold-Certificate-Held-by-One-Family-for-Four-Generations.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So instead they used the transaction for a major PR campaign.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Are there consequences for ripping people off?&nbsp; You bet!&nbsp; Bad karma manifesting as contempt for them, a bad conscience, treachery coming back to them, poor health, alcoholism, escapism to deal with it, etc..&nbsp; As for someone who is so dumb to think they can steal an item under $100 they should be allowed to work off their law breaking not sent to prison.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
