<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 611672, member: 9474"]Doverboy, I understand what you are saying. But we don't know enough of the story to know what the relationship of these two people are. Of course, you want to take care of your customers and be honest with them. That is good business. I am in sales. If I weren't honest and ethical with my customers they wouldn't do business with me. For instance today, I tried to talk down one of my customers from a big time sale. I didn't think he needed what I had, but the customer insisted that he did. He was very grateful that I brought certain things to his attention. I sell surgical equipment. I not only have to worry about my customer (the doctor), but I also have to worry about the patient going home with my stuff. That is good ethical, honest behavior. But from what we know... until told otherwise, this guy offered jackoranger 16 of these coins for $15 each. It could be a co worker, a guy off the street, someone in a coin store.... we don't know. Now ask me if I think that is a fair price. Yep, I sure do. I also think $20 is fair, $30 is fair, $40 is fair. Fair for who!!! Him or me???? Think about it.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Take care of your customers by all means.... this is good business..... but if I throw up a 1995 proof ASE on Coin Talk and ask for $15, I don't think I would get one email asking me what the heck I was doing? Why? Because everyone would assume that I already know what I am doing and know the facts. But neither one of these guys knew the facts, obviously, because if jackoranger did, he wouldn't have asked question in the first place. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now lets say the sale already took place and jackoranger didn't know what he bought. He then got on here and started asking questions. We would all be like Dude, you hit the jackpot. Some of us may even tell Jack to go back and return the coins because he got a good deal or pay this guy extra money. That is crazy. Good for Jack. What would we be saying if he paid $100 each for 16 1986 proof ASE with a value of $25? We would be saying you moron why didn't you do the research first. Would we tell him to go back to the seller and demand that he give him back his money??? </p><p><br /></p><p>Can't have it both ways gang. Is there deceitful, unethical, dishonest business out there?
