<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 403210, member: 13987&quot;]Uhhh.... thats not cherrypicking.... That&#039;s called stealing...... Two different things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Banks are not rare coin dealers.... They give you face value for you money, and everyone knows that. If you take take old coins to a bank, it&#039;s your problem, not the teller&#039;s.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you happen to be a knowledgable teller, it would be kind of you to let the person know what they are doing; however I don&#039;t exactly think of it as morally reprehensible if you do not. Why? Because the person taking their coins/ paper money to the bank is responsible for their own actions, not the bank teller. There is no trickery involved here. You are not lying to anyone. No one has asked you to appraise their goods before they trade them in for worhtless Federal Reserve Notes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In fact cherrypicking from a dealer is much the same. Regardless of the dealer&#039;s level of knowledge if you cherrypick from him/ her you are getting a great deal based on the dealer&#039;s ignorance or lack of attention to detail. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Forcing myself into feeling feeling guilty about other people&#039;s ignorance would get tiring very quickly. Just because I know of something that someone else does not doesn&#039;t mean I am obligated to share that information everytime I am aware of another&#039;s shortcomings. IMO you attach emotions to your decision... You feel sorry for the unwitting person who is giving away something of great value for very little. Her is the point... Value can only be extracted with awareness, and Value can only be understood with awareness. If you are not aware of Value, or aware of full Value than your level of awareness has attached a different level of Value to something than the person who is fully aware. There is no immorality here only different perspectives. Should I be compelled to always make someone think like me since value is a frame of mind? I think not. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However; if you enjoy making people happy, and bettering their lives sharing knowledge is a great thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
