<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 385573, member: 11467&quot;]Frank, I thought I was pretty clear in distinguishing &quot;cherry picking&quot; from a misquote due to clerical error, etc. But in case I wasn&#039;t...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, if a seller looks up a coin on a price sheet and mistakenly quotes a price based on a lower grade (in the wrong column, etc.), and it is obvious to the buyer that a mistake has been made, I believe he should speak up. Ditto for a situation where a seller reads a sell code incorrectly and either quotes a price which leaves off a zero (for example he quotes $300 instead of $3000) or quotes a price with the wrong first digit - perhaps $500 instead of $800 (because he misread the code and confused an 8 for a 5).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Over the years I have occasionally been quoted a price which I thought or knew was so low that it had to be a mistake. In each case I let the seller know and felt good about paying a fair price, rather than taking advantage of an honest mistake. Likewise, if a person gets too much/the wrong amount of change back from a clerk or restaurant - he should speak up, as opposed to celebrating and walking off with the money. It really boils down to honesty and how people SHOULD treat each other, whether they actually choose to do the right thing or not. Again, I have no problem with what transpired in the particular scenario, as Mark described it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
