<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1247720, member: 13307&quot;]Also - one last thought:</p><p><br /></p><p>The hypothetical person has displayed their obvious ignorance on the value of the coin they present to the hypothetical dealer.&nbsp; I do feel this is different from buying a coin from a dealer, where the seller is selling from a position of education/knowledge.&nbsp; Buying the coin (if authenticated through your knowledge) for $20, IMO, would be like buying it from a 4 year old.&nbsp; I feel there wasn&#039;t (in your example) an explicitly stated request for help or information, but it was absolutely implied.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the seller has many resources to determine the value of his item - but he chose one of them in walking up to the dealer&#039;s table and looking confused.&nbsp; Many people don&#039;t like to admit they know nothing on a subject, many people still like asking another human being for help/information.&nbsp; I think in the end I will side on the side of educating the seller and making a reasonable offer that allows for a profit for the dealer without taking advantage of the seller.&nbsp; It&#039;s not always about making a profit by whatever means necessary....but that&#039;s why I&#039;m an artist/teacher and not a Wall Street investment banker or politician.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
