<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2794349, member: 39084&quot;]It always makes me nervous when someone writes about &quot;being entitled.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re entitled to whatever the terms of the auction specify.&nbsp; Period.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you consign a coin to an auction, you have certain rights and expectations as specified in the terms and conditions for consignors.&nbsp; That&#039;s it.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t like the terms, you can (1) choose not to consign your coins to that auction, (2) attempt to change the auction&#039;s terms and conditions so that they&#039;re closer to what you want, or (3)... the list is endless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note that I&#039;m not saying I don&#039;t believe in entitlements -- there are plenty of WRITTEN entitlements in life (U.S. Medicare immediately comes to mind) that are well specified.&nbsp; In those cases, use of the phrase &quot;entitled to&quot; is entirely appropriate.&nbsp; What concerns me is when individuals feel &quot;entitled to&quot; unwritten (and in many case unreasonable) expectations about their situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
