<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2132816, member: 36230"]Okay, Sully... there's something else you might want (ahem, NEED) to do now while just starting out. Again, I fully understand and respect that you're only looking for the profit here, but you need set personal boundaries as to what is and is not acceptable to you. Ask yourself if you really want to be viewed as being no different from the schmoes who sell salted rolls, crack dreck (problem coins) to sell raw as problem free, offer worthlessly doubled or damaged coins as rare and valuable errors/varieties, fakes as genuine, etc, etc (I'm sure you get the idea), or if you'd prefer to be held, even if only by yourself, to a higher standard. A good reputation is not easy to get while a bad one can be earned at the snap of a finger. Cutting corners now to make a few extra bucks isn't worth it in the long run if you actually care about this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now please understand I am not saying this to be mean, but "1000 wheat cents in a 1960's Ball jar" that have NOT been searched for "errors or key dates"? These wouldn't happen to be the same coins you recently wrote of in another thread, would they? I could be wrong, of course, but I'm having ahard time buying that you just purchased the coins this way (in the jar) and didn't bother looking through it, especially considering your stated desire to "flip" them. Could it be that they were placed into this, ahem, old jar, along with the unsearched claims, as a way to hopefully put more money into your pocket? If so, now is the time to make your decision. If you want to be that type of seller, well, you'll be in not so good company, but is your choice. I just wouldn't expect a lot of future help from the board. However, if you don't want to be viewed in a negative light, perhaps you should reconsider the listing any any like it down the road. You're new, so no one is going to think bad of you over a mistake made now as long as you care enough about your rep to correct it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, good luck to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
