For all of us who collect coins there are many dead ends and hopfully a few fulfilling moments when the right coin drops into our laps. I have a friendly local coin dealer who knows me and called me to tell me about some Morgan silver dollars he had just received from an estate. I drove down and looked them over and didn't really like any of them. I don't believe that I am entitled to gas money and lost time just because my friend may have miscalculated what I was looking for. I don't know maybe this isn't a great example of what we go through to find great coins and how it relates to your situation but I believe that you should chalk the time spent working with this seller up to spent doing coin collecting stuff rather than having to wash the dishes or taking out the trash. If he offers you your full payment back then I would take away the negative comment but that's just me being a softy who knows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
