<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2431515, member: 36230&quot;]Did I say that? No, I did not. You said one cannot trust a dealer to go through it on their own time. You didn&#039;t say some, most, or many, or in any way qualify the statement as implying anything but all. One should be so fortunate that any self-respecting dealer would waste his time, on his own or in front of the individual, particularly if with lower value/common dogs, but the fact is there are many dealers perfectly trustworthy with such coins, regardless of if you like it or not. Again, no one with a solid reputation is going to risk it to make off with a pocketful of dreck. This certainly isn&#039;t to say one should blindly trust any dealer, real or claimed, but to imply that none can be is simply ridiculous, particularly when we consider what you turned around and said about finding someone trusted and knowledgeable. Sounds fine on the surface, but have you any idea how many &quot;knowledgeable&quot; and trusted family/friends have turned around and jacked those stupid enough to have trusted them? This woman &quot;entrusted&quot; you with her coins, and I&#039;m sure you did right by her, but it doesn&#039;t always work out so smoothly, and there are plenty of horror stories out there that can testify to this fact. Unfortunately, it&#039;s not always a solve-all answer. I never said nor suggested the blind trust of anyone, including dealers, but one would be wise to use the same caution no matter who they chose to deal with. Pretty simple really.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for your red book, please... may I ask how many times you&#039;ve personally dealt with someone wishing to sell their coins with only a redbook value education? I&#039;m guessing not many or else you&#039;d know why even the mere suggestion of it as a wise choice when wishing to determine a reasonable wholesale value is so foolish. It&#039;s called expectations, and allowing someone who doesn&#039;t know any better to develop unreasonable ones can do more harm than good. Again, if you&#039;re going to position yourself as one who knows what he&#039;s talking about and make a recommendation, at least have the decency to explain the realities behind it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
