<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2882631, member: 36230&quot;]Much less for free. I hate to use the analogy, but it&#039;s like throwing a five spot to the local crackhead; do it once and they&#039;ll keep coming, and coming, and coming with every insignificant nothing imaginable. Not all, of course, but enough to make anyone who has lived it think again.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why? Is it a dealer&#039;s responsibility to not only become knowledgeable about every niche aspect of this hobby, but to be willing to help anyone who contacts them free of charge? Contrary to what many here seem to assume, &quot;dealer&quot; is in no way synonymous with &quot;expert&quot;, and there&#039;s absolutely nothing wrong with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just because this may be a hobby for you, this doesn&#039;t make it the same for everyone, and is something all would be wise to remember. Unfortunately, there is a number of so-called &quot;collectors&quot; and/or &quot;strike it rich&quot; types who perfectly fit the above analogy, and are more than willing to expect a mile for every inch given them. No one would expect a doctor to see the local hypochondriac, free of charge, over every little concern they may have, so why should a coin dealer be any different?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
