<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 611672, member: 9474&quot;]Doverboy, I understand what you are saying.&nbsp; But we don&#039;t know enough of the story to know what the relationship of these two people are.&nbsp; Of course, you want to take care of your customers and be honest with them.&nbsp; That is good business. I am in sales.&nbsp; If I weren&#039;t honest and ethical with my customers they wouldn&#039;t do business with me.&nbsp; For instance today, I tried to talk down one of my customers from a big time sale.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t think he needed what I had, but the customer insisted that he did.&nbsp; He was very grateful that I brought certain things to his attention.&nbsp;&nbsp; I sell surgical equipment.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; That is good ethical, honest behavior.&nbsp; But from what we know... until told otherwise, this guy offered jackoranger 16 of these coins for $15 each.&nbsp; It could be a co worker, a guy off the street, someone in a coin store.... we don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Now ask me if I think that is a fair price.&nbsp; Yep, I sure do.&nbsp; I also think $20 is fair, $30 is fair, $40 is fair.&nbsp; Fair for who!!! Him or me????&nbsp; 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&#039;t think I would get one email asking me what the heck I was doing?&nbsp; Why? Because everyone would assume that I already know what I am doing and know the facts.&nbsp; But neither one of these guys knew the facts, obviously, because if jackoranger did, he wouldn&#039;t have asked question in the first place.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now lets say the sale already took place and jackoranger didn&#039;t know what he bought.&nbsp; He then got on here and started asking questions.&nbsp; We would all be like Dude, you hit the jackpot.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; That is crazy.&nbsp; Good for Jack.&nbsp; What would we be saying if he paid $100 each for 16 1986 proof ASE with a value of $25?&nbsp; We would be saying you moron why didn&#039;t you do the research first.&nbsp; Would we tell him to go back to the seller and demand that he give him back his money???&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Can&#039;t have it both ways gang.&nbsp; Is there deceitful, unethical, dishonest business out there? Yes, but I didn&#039;t see any of that here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
