<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1826603, member: 36230"]First, this is not fact, by definition or otherwise. Your experience with a gold buyer in no way translates to such activity being the norm in arguably similar businesses. Yes, some dealers do as you say, but nowhere near all do, and it is only fair that this is recognized.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your main question, if buying from a pawnshop or dealer, you absolutely have no ethical responsibility to disclose anything. When one presents themselves as a dealer, and this includes those who are just playing one, it places the burden on knowing what they are selling on them, so picking is fair game. Of course, if it is clear that an obvious mistake was made, it may be morally right or just fair to point it out, but if I understand your question correctly, this is the exception.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
