<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3091063, member: 112&quot;]How does obeying the law make you a professional ? Everybody, and yes even you, who sells a coin and makes a profit is required by law to report it on your tax forms.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And if you cherry pick somebody, dealer nor not, and then sell the coin for a profit - are you ripping people off ? If you answer yes, fine, then you can say what ya said. </p><p><br /></p><p>But if you answer no, then you can&#039;t say it. Because you&#039;re doing exactly what the dealer does. And what you do for a living doesn&#039;t change that. But you can lie to yourself and say he&#039;s a bad guy and I&#039;m not - even though you&#039;re both doing exactly the same thing. But that&#039;s all you&#039;re doing - lying to yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on your point of view, every business there is is ripping people off. And that just isn&#039;t so. Businesses are in business to make money, and they are able to do that for one reason, because of the knowledge they have. </p><p><br /></p><p>If somebody walks into a coin shop and willingly takes whatever the dealer offers them, then the dealer did not rip them off. What people should do is go find out what coins are worth BEFORE they sell them - that&#039;s their own responsibility. And if they don&#039;t make the effort to do that and they get less than a fair price - then it&#039;s their own fault - not the dealer&#039;s. The dealer is merely doing his job, trying to benefit himself as much as possible because that&#039;s the business he is in. That is the very purpose of his business. And if you let one tale advantage of you then you&#039;re to blame, not him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody, absolutely nobody, can ever take advantage of you unless you allow them to do so ! And if you do, then you&#039;ve got nobody to blame but yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
