<p>[QUOTE=&quot;windwalker, post: 1665301, member: 38923&quot;]I also believe that taking advantage of people is an age old crime, however I also believe that people tend to sensualize things and take things out of context it happens everyday in politics and no one tunes it it in.&nbsp; To say that a person of&nbsp; 70 grew up in a different age&nbsp; may be true but times changed as they were growing up and they were part of the change.&nbsp; I know that I was and they should have been too.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting I felt that I was taken advantage of because of my lack of experience, but I never got burned to her extent in one fell swoop because I would never have allowed myself to spend that much on something that I didn&#039;t know to a sufficient level to make that size of purchase.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The old adage of you can&#039;t cheat an honest person is very true.&nbsp; There were more that an few times where I got pulled into something that wasn&#039;t quite right because of either the passion of the moment or the apparent justice of the words be spoken.</p><p><br /></p><p>To use the poor old person routine is just a bad a trotting out or using the argument of &quot;do the right thing&quot; as if what the other person is doing is automatically not.</p><p><br /></p><p>$8,000 is sure a lot of money to spend on something that is supposedly a first time investment in a venue that not of your knowledge.&nbsp; I don&#039;t subscribe to the premise that old people don&#039;t know what they&#039;re doing.&nbsp; Otherwise they shouldn&#039;t be allowed to go to the store.&nbsp; Besides what is old.&nbsp; If the purchaser involved is 50 I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; If the person is 80 a case could be made.&nbsp; If the person was 90 quite definitely so. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think that I&#039;m being cynical but hopefully pragmatic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
