[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2693196, member: 24633"]Why should you feel bad if you are being totally honest with them? About 12 years ago, one of my pool-playing buddies decided that he wanted to sell his small collection which included some IHC's, and he asked me to give him an idea of what they were worth. Among the IHC's was an 1877, a 1908-S and a 1909-S, and I explained to him that these were worth more than the rest. I wasn't interested in the collection, but I had another friend who would probably buy them. Although, I went along for the meeting, I kept my thoughts to myself unless I was asked a question. The buyer made an offer, and the seller asked me if it was a fair deal, to which, I said it was. So, the deal was consummated. About one month later, the 1877 more than doubled in value. Oh, well! My pool-playing buddy and I are still friends to this day. Chris[/QUOTE]
