[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 324755, member: 11521"]Using your logic you should be able to buy my house at 1994 prices because I bought it in 1993. How dare me to want 2008 prices when I bought the house much cheaper than current prices. Never mind my costs of owning the house for all those years. Never mind that I will have to buy another house at today's prices if I sell my house. My selling price should be based on my original purchase price, not the current market. What the dealer paid for his coin is irrelevant (within ethical bounds). What will it cost that dealer to replace that coin? He will have to buy its replacement at today's price, won't he? What did it cost the dealer to keep that coin in his inventory all those years? He may have been paying interest on the money he borrowed to buy the coin. If he used his own money he could have either been earning interest on that money or used the money to buy other coins to sell. I think the dealer was entirely within his right to reprice the coin to the current market.[/QUOTE]
