<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7940771, member: 19463"]Exactly! May I point out that a few dollars spent learning which sellers are 'sleazeballs' might be worth a lot more in the long run than was lost in the first place. I have half a dozen dealers who have provided over half of my coins AND from whom I first bought over 30 years ago. My favorite sellers from 50 years ago have all retired or passed away. They all have one thing in common. They are NOT 'sleazeballs'. If you discover a seller who does deserve that term and you continue to patronize him, perhaps you are being a mite stupid??? From what you have shown, your source dealer may be OK although a couple of the coins do seem a but high priced for what I see. Having high prices is not in itself 'sleazy' unless it is accompanied by bad service, bad attitude and flat out lies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
