<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1667751, member: 5233"]Unfortunately, I think you are going to find this across the board...and not just for coins but for anything. For example, I also collect certain football cards and I recently (knowingly) overpaid for a card I needed for a set I'm building. It's hard to find, and the dealer who had it wanted about 10x what it normally sells for. I tried to negotiate but ended up paying his high price because I needed it (of course, it was only about $20). My point is, it was his property. He can charge any amount he wants for it...and I as the buyer had the choice of either buying it from him or looking elsewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>I honestly believe that the seller acted legally...although immorally. He "ripped her off" if no other facts come to light here that change the circumstances. I really believe (again assuming no new facts come up) the best thing to do is go and talk with the dealer and see if you can work something out. If he tells her "tough cookies" I would make sure everyone knows the story. Write a letter to the newspaper, get on the local news, hand out flyers, and post online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
