<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2936538, member: 5233&quot;]I have greatly changed my perspective on these kinds of things after having owned my own business for a few years.&nbsp; What medoraman says is correct...there is risk in every transaction.&nbsp; A businessman must decide how much of an expense a given item is going to incur (and that includes things like risk, time, difficulty selling, ect.) and figure out what a reasonable profit margin is before making an offer.&nbsp; There are a ton of small things that go into these decisions.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me, ethics comes down to intent.&nbsp; Was the buyer trying to deceive the seller or not.&nbsp; If someone brought in a low grade 1893-S Morgan and the dealer told the seller it was worth melt and offered such...that would be unethical.&nbsp; The dealer lied to the seller.&nbsp; However, offering a low price for an item is not the same thing.&nbsp; If I given coin come with increased risk or difficulty to sell...it&#039;s going to get a lower offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s up to the seller to decide if they want to accept the offer.&nbsp; In my opinion, no offer is unethical unless the buyer is deliberately trying to deceive the seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
