Message:: [QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 808523, member: 18177"]going off topic a bit further here, I want to tell you a short story. Some 15 years ago, I had a small collection of Raw Canadian coins left after the bulk of my collection was previously sold off. These few coins are in todays market worth a few thousand dollars. Their rarity has not changed, nor had their FMV. Well this Coin appraisal fellow/coin dealer came by my place to look at the coins. I pretended to assume no knowledge of their rarity or value. His final written appraisal was $200.00 (which could not buy a single piece) . Was this fellow unethical in this situation? I paid him for his appraisal. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, after I did decline his offer as the appraisal was with the intention of selling the coins to him, if I was happy with the appraisal. I asked him to let me think a day or two on it. Well, not a day since the appraisal, he called me asking if I wanted to sell. I politely told him no and explained why....................there was dead silence on the phone and  than he was gone. Unbelievable.[/QUOTE]
