[QUOTE="clembo, post: 284330, member: 8033"]Interesting thread there Ben. Personally I would not leave a forum over this as has been suggested. I'd just decline and politely explain why IF I were looking to sell in the first place. I think we all look for deals as it were. I know I do. I'll pay good money for a good coin but if I can get it cheaper I'm all for it. On the other hand, I do NOT intend to PM someone asking for an opinion with a ridiculous buy offer. Bad etiquette plain and simple. Almost sounds like going into a shop or a show. Ever notice (sure you have) that a dealer will almost always grade your coin lower than you do if he wants to buy but same coin in his case is a notch higher? I'm not saying dealers are all dishonest either but this is what they do for a living. I've bought coins that were overgraded, politely explained why and got the next lower grade price. As long as the dealer knows that YOU know what you're talking about. Experience and knowledge are keys and I know you have both.[/QUOTE]
