<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 3088793, member: 76194"]I've had nothing but good results dealing with other regulars here. I know they would not intentionally hurt me because I've gotten to know them well, and I know they are avid ancients collectors just like me, looking to have fun and share in the hobby with others here. Likewise, I've never intentionally hurt anyone here. Every coin I've sold or given away was a coin which I honestly believed to be genuine based on my research and experience, plus based on the reliable sources I got it from and second opinions I've had from others. And I've never tried to scam anyone else, in fact, I've lost small amounts of money trading here as I want to give others a good experience....but I don't do this hobby to get rich but rather because I enjoy it, so the experience was worth far more than a few extra bucks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand the concerns about coin talk not giving any guarantee, and I understand every transaction done outside of an auction house or dealer setting carries a risk...caveat emptor (buyer beware). But with some of the regulars here that is a risk I'm willing to take as Ive gotten to know them as well as anyone can know anyone here, and know they are just small time collectors just like me doing it for the fun of the hobby and not to pray on others. So I'm willing to take the risk knowing that I can unintentionally get burned....which I could deal with far better than knowing I was intentionally burned by some scammer on eBay. Mistakes happen amongst well intentioned amateur collectors. At least I know and trust the likes of JA, Mat, cucumbor, red_spork, Smojo, and others here to know they are honest people just having fun and doing their best in this hobby, just like me. And that's all that matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
