<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1359435, member: 31533"]Honesty and shadiness in dealers is a fine line, IMO. A dealer can be totally 'honest' yet take someone for money that that person could have saved if the person buying or selling knew more about the coins. Someone may label a particular dealer as 'honest', but all it takes is one person to feel that they were taken advantage of by that dealer to feel that that dealer was 'shady'. If you are looking for someone who will not take 'advantage' of you, then you better know your coins. It is up to you to make the decision whether to deal or not deal with a particular dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO a 'shady' dealer is a con man (or woman), pure and simple, or someone who allows themselves occasionally to use less than better judgement and take advantage of the weak or unknowing. The first one can usually be avoided by asking for references, or not being quick to jump in on a deal until you have more knowledge and confidence that it's good for you, and the second instance is human nature that sometimes gets the best of even 'good' people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
