<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 385688, member: 4367&quot;]Chuckle, the nature of coin dealing/collecting is the DEAL.&nbsp; Be you the one on the receiving end or the loosing end.&nbsp; We&#039;re simply talking about small antique deals here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example; we had a fellow who&#039;d (supposedly) made friends with my mother thru a Senior Assisted Living Facility in Texas shortly before she died in 2006.&nbsp; He attended her funeral and even followed us out to the farm after we had her funeral in early 2007.&nbsp; This old boy said he was there to claim the Chippendale Love Seat she&#039;d traded him when she was living in the facility at Huntsville.&nbsp; My brother and I both (after laughing outloud) asked to see any documentation, supporting such a claim and he said he quickly retorted he couldn&#039;t locate it, but stood by his &#039;<b>then changed story&#039;</b> that he&#039;d purchased the chair from mom in the fall of 2006.&nbsp; By now, the smell of fish was very strong indeed since she died about then and we&#039;d held off until after the Christmas Holidays for her memorial service.</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, this was impossible since mom&#039;s finances were controlled by by little brother Norman since she&#039;d been diagnosed with Alzheimer&#039;s in 2002 and was incapable of any sort of transaction like this.&nbsp; And the fact that the Love Seat is with me in South Dakota at this time and has been so since 1999.</p><p><br /></p><p>Norm, walked into the kitchen and began dailing the cops and this fellow hit the road.&nbsp; His listed in the Houston Yellow Pages I believe, and please be careful.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Wakefields Historical Antiques and Books.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, as you can see, some will go to extreme ends to try and complete/steal a deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
