<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NotSure, post: 811648, member: 20034&quot;]While I agree to a point with you, Duke, I&#039;d think it happens way more than we&#039;d like to think....I have to imagine that anyone selling coins that has no knowledge of them, is going to get taken (ripped off, fleeced...whatever word you wish to use) when selling their coins.&nbsp; These dealers antics aren&#039;t reserved for just women, or the elderly.&nbsp; These dealers have no ethics, honor, or decency, and will try to make ANYONE feel they were doing them &#039;a favor&#039; to give/offer them as much as they did/do.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With that said, I believe the author did the right thing, even though she must have known she was putting her future presence at that show at risk. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can see that dealers point, however, where she had no business interfering in his business dealings (though, I think EVERYONE involved went overboard in evicting her).&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong...I would have done the same thing, I could never sit by silently while watching an obviously heartless, consciousless snake take advantage of someone like that.&nbsp; I would have told that little old lady to meet me in the parking lot to talk about it, and if not making an outright offer, at least tell her what to ask for when asked &#039;how much&#039;.&nbsp; It&#039;s simply awful that there has to be dealers like this, but there are way more of them than we&#039;d care to believe, unfortunately.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for sharing that link...it&#039;s stories like that that make me glad I have an idea of my coins&#039; worth, and if I want to sell, I know I can give an educated answer when asked &#039;how much&#039;.&nbsp; It&#039;s simply too bad that there are people without any knowledge that have these kinds of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
