<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biged239, post: 1683818, member: 29948&quot;]<b>The End</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello Group</p><p>&nbsp; Well there has been a lot of good advice and there have also been some interesting comments. There is even a request to end this thread. </p><p>&nbsp; If the moderators want to end it that’s fine with me.</p><p>&nbsp; I consulted a lawyer friend and received legal advice on this situation. He told me Coins are not just bullion but also collectibles. He used an oil painting for an example, and said she could have bought this painting for $8,000.00 and found out it was worth $2,000.00. Legally she just lost $6,000.00 dollars and it does not matter how it was sold to her. She has no documentation that she is mentally ill. She has made a bad investment because she was not wise to the investment she made. There is no legal recourse.&nbsp; Buyer bewares when it comes to any collectibles. This was his advice. </p><p>&nbsp; As for me doing a sting operation on this place? For one I live 100+ miles from this store. Second from what this lawyer just told me he can sell is coins for what ever he wants to. There is no legal set price that can be levied on antiques and collectibles. If he sells the coins for bullion and states this is the price for bullion, he is still OK doing this because he is not held to any set price for bullion. You can set a price at $1,000.00 per ounce and if you can get someone to buy it you just made a great sell. Anyone can set a high price on any merchandise and if they can sell it, they just made a bigger profit. Only during emergencies can a lawful limit be placed on the price of some merchandise. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; So with this I a conceded that I can do nothing to help this lady. She should have taken my advice a long time ago.&nbsp; When I told her if she was going to invest, call me and I would help her.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; Sorry there is no ending to this story.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; My apologies to anyone if this thread cause any hard feelings. I never expected it to turn into a waiting game. I never had control of the situation. So some of you are right when you say I should not have started this thread. I don’t post enough on forums to control a thread like this. It was personal and I should never let this type stuff get me worked up. The CoinTalk forum is a good learning forum and I will be around. But this thread has to many people getting worked up and I believe it should end.</p><p>&nbsp; Thanks Biged[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
