<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2432041, member: 36230&quot;]So I&#039;m talking him down, yet here you are arguing against things that were not said nor remotely implied. Apparently this is a habit with you as our first little run-in was you accusing me of saying things I never have. Is this deflection really the best you can do, or perhaps it&#039;s just part of your MO?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, yes.... that is exactly what I said, and I&#039;m not sure what is so hard for you to understand here. His supposedly &quot;very valid point&quot;, at least as written, comes off as being naive. He&#039;s certainly welcome to his feelings on the matter, but this does not make them fact. The man said, as a <i>blanket</i> <i>statement</i>, that one cannot trust a dealer to go through (appraise) coins on his own time, which is absolutely false and reeks of the same regretable anti-dealer paranoia spewed everywhere on this board. I never said ANY or ALL dealers, real or imagined, should blindly be trusted, or that one should pick a name out of the phone book or from some online ad and simply hand them the collection, yet here we are arguing as if I did. If you take issue with or disagree with what was said, fine, but at least try not to make such idiotic assumptions or moronic comparisons to allowing unknown contractors into one&#039;s home. Now, if you wish to make such comparisons, perhaps a better one would be not letting ANY (even professionals with reputations to uphold) contractors into one&#039;s home, and instead blindly trusting an idiot nephew, claiming he can do it all after watching an episode of This Old House.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course you also conveniently ignore what was said about how the listed potential pitfalls can also apply to dealing with so-called &quot;trusted&quot; and &quot;knowledgeable&quot; family/friends or the like, but that&#039;s okay and I do understand... acknowledging this reality wouldn&#039;t fit so well into your little narrative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
