[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1682045, member: 37498"]Much would depend on what was said. If she said "I would like to buy some silver coins." and the dealer replied "I have a bunch of these at $32 each." to which she said "I'll take 250 of them." Then she's nothing more than an uneducated consumer, and the dealer made out like a bandit. Nothing illegal there and I doubt she'd even get a penny in civil court. If she went in and said "I have $8000 and I would like to buy some silver." Then shame on her and while the dealer might be a little on the shady side, he likely didn't do anything illegal in most states besides Florida. She might be able to get her money back by taking the matter to court. But if she said "I would like to buy $8000 worth of silver" and he sold her +/- $2000 worth of silver and for $8000, then, IMHO, we could be looking at fraud and I think she would win if it went to civil court. But we don't really know what happened, so the best we can do is guess...[/QUOTE]
