[QUOTE="Ltrain, post: 881088, member: 24795"]One person slams the dealer, another praises it. Unless the dealer is a horrible person altogether, I'm sure he'll get both good and bad reviews. It's part of business... you can't be friends with everybody. It would give dealers some incentive to treat their customers better if they know there's ramifications besides simply not being able to buy a particular coin a customer brings in or maybe losing a single customer. Ethical is defined by an individuals standards of morality. If you think a dealer is unethical, share your story and tell us why... let us make our own decisions through gathering available data. I very rarely buy from dealers, so this question is pointless from my perspective. I go for estate auctions and whatnot. And if the dealer wants to make the sale, they'll find a polite way to educate a customer and explain why the value isn't that of an MS65 coin. And how does that apply to our discussion of dealer morality? That IHC would fetch more than $7, by far, after fee's and whatnot on ebay. What about moral responsibility? I understand that coin dealers have to eat, but they don't have to rip people off to accomplish that. It's their responsibility to maintain a strong code of ethics, and if they do not, they deserve to get smeared with the mud they created.[/QUOTE]
