<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 1828624, member: 41780"]I believe over 90% of coin collectors view cherry-picking as acceptable. Personally, I think without cherry-picking much of the thrill in the hobby is taken away. Why is it not acceptable to gain, in a free market, in a transaction due to superior knowledge? Who decides what prices are just? As market bubbles have shown, markets are not rational, and even if a buyer pays only a fraction of the price for an investment the buyer is still taking a risk with his money. There is no objective "price" at which items should sell at any particular time (this is a tangent, though). On an ethical level, shouldn't businesses that are too lazy to research their own merchandise be punished? The idea that oral or written contracts can be negated because someone did not do proper research beforehand is ludicrous. </p><p> </p><p>But again, I'm speaking to the choir composed of 90%+ of collectors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
