<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1809933, member: 41863&quot;]Or you know another novel thought.......letting NK decide for himself whether that question warrants answering or not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not everyone on this site knows that NK is an established member, you and I certainly do, but many folks are new here and new visitors stop by everyday. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just as it is your OPINION that asking the value of a members purchase is rude, so is making members feel belittled by their automatic questions for genuinely trying to help. </p><p><br /></p><p>All across this forum you see folks ask what someone pays, whether it is a high dollar coin, or a fake, or anywhere in between, it happens daily. </p><p><br /></p><p>Almost every thread about a potential fake, the money paid is usually questioned. Why? Because the &#039;good deal&#039; syndrome bites us all. And is usually the biggest give away if someone has purchased a fake. (I got an ungraded AU 09-SVDB for sale for $450, any takers?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug repeatedly tells us that the &#039;gamble&#039; is what almost always comes back to bite us, so it is a reasonable question to ask, especially in this setting. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is only YOUR opinion that asking what someone pays is rude. </p><p><br /></p><p>I personally could care less if someone on an Internet forum knows what i paid for a given coin. It&#039;s in my collection at that point and if I decide to sell, then that is up to me and for what price. </p><p><br /></p><p>In general it&#039;s just not good &#039;etiquette&#039; to generalize much of anything. Which is exactly what you did when you assumed any and all members would know that NK is knowledgeable enough to see the cheap price red flag. </p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, the coin is a beautiful specimen, and I would like to know if it is real or fake. For all we know he may have hit the jackpot on something none of us know anything about since no one has provided an answer either way yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
