<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2200697, member: 36230&quot;]No, Chip; that is NOT what I said nor implied, and you&#039;re now putting words into my mouth in an attempt to deflect away from the real issue here. If you misunderstood my initial post (the one you feel is &quot;BS&quot;), you have my apologies, but I do not at all believe my point was unclear. Again, and for the sake of clarity, nothing i said was in defense of a thief or a collector who would knowingly purchase their, ahem, &quot;wares&quot;, but was nothing more than pointing out the reality that such people, like it or not, do exist.</p><p><br /></p><p>You also may want to consider the fact that there are many legitimate and honest collectors who prefer to keep their hobby private, so regardless of your feelings on the matter, common sense should suggest that there are less than honest collectors who value their privacy as well. Not everyone chooses to partake in the camaraderie that this hobby/business can provide, and this is their right. Not everyone wishes to post on a coin forum, attend shows, join a club, etc, etc, so why would such a person, lacking in morals, care that they would be unable to share or ever sell an ill gotten coin acquired for a tiny fraction of its clean value? They unfortunate fact is that some wouldn&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
