<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2000455, member: 26302&quot;]It really gets to one of the really weird things in our hobby to me. I have never seen a hobby in which such a large percentage of participants are obsessed with &quot;flipping&quot; and other ways to get rich quick with the hobby. Seriously. I come onto Cointalk some days and think I am on a &quot;wheeler dealer&quot; website, not on a website dedicated to collecting. So many people ONLY want to know &quot;what is it worth&quot;. They don&#039;t give a crud about its history, its level of preservation, mintages, survivorship rates, anything unless it has a direct bearing on value. </p><p><br /></p><p>I never really have understood why coin collecting is so perversely affected by this phenonenon. Yes, every hobby has some of this, but some days it feels like ALL coin collecting is only about value and &quot;making a buck&quot;.&nbsp; Yes, I understand value of coins and pay attention, but ONLY because I need to know the going rate for things to make educated purchases and maximize my hobby dollar. I collect coins for their artistry, beauty, and history, and some days I kind of feel like I am one of the last ones who actually collects for this reason, and are not closet dealers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>OP, I would just be a professional and either accept or decline the offer. The person making the offer was clearly unprofessional in asking you to make him money, but just rise above it and ignore it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
