[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 403298, member: 13987"]Well in your view cherrypicking from dealers is wrong, and basically anytime someone gets what they want from something, even know it represents a great value is immoral if the person receiving the deal doesn't proclaim... "Wow you know what you are selling me is much more valuable than your asking price." Ludicrous..... If you wish to add an extra layer of invented morality to something go ahead.... I actually think that is a good thing in some cases; however, you are not in the wrong if you do not subscibe to that morality. This is the same line of thought that keeps proud single moms from receiving WIC. The government takes your money against your will, but you are too proud, or too moral to receive it back in the form of a gift that is being offered to you. I pay over $50,000 a year in taxes.... anytime the government wants to give me anything I'll say ok. Part of me thinks they are thieves, and it makes me sick how they waste my livelihood by giving away my money in pork barrel spending/ and to pay off the interest built into the dollar. So i'm not too good for a handout... I paid for it. In fact... giving is a good thing, and makes people feel good right? I am doing you a service by receiving your gifts with a loving heart. Thanks! If a normal adult wishes (they themselves want to) to sell me silver coins at face value I'm going to say OK. If it were a little kid I would have to teach him/ her, but to think old ladies are stupid and helpless is a trick I would have to play on myself... not on the little old lady. Also selling someone anything that has something wrong with it for full price while you know it is broke or whatever is is completely different than buying something at a good value. One scenario is clearly dishonest while the other is not.[/QUOTE]
