[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 16706303, member: 24754"]Coin shop etiquette is one thing, but at some point your actions as an observer become a matter of universal ethics and morality. It's easy to come up with situations that fall solidly on one side of the line or the other: - Offering full price to a coin shop customer when the shop owner is accounting for a 10% profit margin would put you solidly in the wrong. - Alerting an ignorant customer to the fact that they are being offered $5 for a $1000 coin is simply the right (correct) thing to do. But, as with all things, the issue lies with the hazy in-between cases. Where should the line be drawn? It's a matter of personal opinion. Considering all of the things that have already been mentioned in this thread, when in a coin shop, you should probably push that line out as far as you can comfortably feel possible. (Although it can still be terribly hard to watch)[/QUOTE]
