<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1976527, member: 26302&quot;]I find myself torn here. I agree with both the OP and Doug on different aspect of this discussion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Op, I agree a $2000 offer on a &quot;normal&quot; $5000 coin is unreasonable and I would never accept it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Doug, I completely agree there should be no limit to maximum profit. However, I do think a dealer has a duty to not screw over the general public. You were talking specific circumstances of specialty knowledge. However, what about general knowledge? A guy walks up to a dealer at a show with some certified coins. One is worth $5000 greysheet bid, nothing special or unusual, lats say a nice XF small eagle dollar. What is the llimit of what a &quot;reasonable&quot; offer would be? The dealer does not know if this guy is knowledgable or inherited the coin. Are you still ok if he offers the guy $50? $500? $2000? Are all of these offers ethical? I am not saying I know the answer, but theoretically I do believe there is a line between &quot;normal dealer profit&quot; and stealing from people. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the sell side? I don&#039;t disagree. If someone is lazy and refuses to find out an ASE is worth melt plus a few dollars and buys them from the tv for $50, then its their fault. In those situations, I do not begrudge a dealer&#039;s profit at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
