<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 928484, member: 22004&quot;]I remember the self-congratulatory ads that Littleton Coin Company ran for a while.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A family had a group of rare notes.&nbsp; They went to coin shop A that offered a thousand or so, they then went to shop B that offered twice that amount.&nbsp; Finally they sent the notes, including a rare 1862 $20 note, to Littleton, not a company that is known for offering top dollar by any means.&nbsp; They realized they could not make a low-ball offer without consequences, so they sent the rare notes to auction.&nbsp; The 1862 note sold for around a quarter million.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If someone holds themselves out as certified appraisers they can be liable for rip-offs.&nbsp; Not every seller is knowledgeable.&nbsp; Trust is a big word when you are dealing with family heirlooms. If I were selling items in the thousands, I would try my best to get top dollar.&nbsp; Many people are just glad to get the cash. We see the ads with cash being dispensed to the seller.&nbsp; Some deals are more than fair.&nbsp; Some are not.&nbsp; Educating buyers and sellers is a public service.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
