<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1214545, member: 3726"]Well - if you don't know what you are buying and they do not know what they are selling is one thing. But I don't think it is cool to take advantage of someone just because they do not know what they are selling. You should always make a fair offer - especially if you know what you are buying. It might not be so cool if you were on the receiving end. Just always try to be fair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now there was one coin I bought from a local dealer, he priced it about $100 to $150 less than it should have been priced. I did not know it and I bought the coin. I caught some flack on here and it was the way I posted it the thread. The next time I was in I asked him about it - his reply was: No problem I will make it back in the long run. That was okay - but now when I buy from him I on some coins I asked and double check the prices. On some well know varieties I always double check the prices. On a few I have told him it was cheap for the variety and if he is selling I will buy it. He even encourages cherry picking - he has told many on his large cents to pick away.</p><p><br /></p><p>As it is the pictures are not large enough to really judge authenticity, but it looks legit to me.
