[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1513681, member: 36230"]I highly doubt face, but point made. Anyone offering their items (coins) for sale is the seller. In this type of situation, it's always the seller who who "takes the deal" and could have said no. Your logic suggests that no one should ever be ripped off, scammed, underpaid, whatever because they choose to take the deal offered. Next time there is a thread slamming some dealer for not paying strong, are you going to point out that the seller "could've said no"? Honest question. Really? Did the seller truly get a "good deal" or maybe they just think they did not knowing any better? For the sake of discussion, consider this; if in the next few days a new member posted a story about someone paying them half what their silver was worth, you know as well as I that the usual bunch would jump all over it calling the other party a thief, scum bag, and who knows what else. How many would call that a "clean transaction"? I cannot be the only one who finds it ironic that when its a known member who benefited, not one negative thing is said, and not only that, he is widely congratulated. How come Detecto isn't calling in the army men over ikandiggit's good fortune? With all due respect, this comes off as nothing more than an attempt to justify why this was okay for the OP and not a dealer. Not every dealer buy is pre-calculated down to the exact profit, especially with metals and for obvious reasons. After all, X time face is really nothing more than a guesstimate and junk silver is readily purchased (including on the fly) this way. I get your point, but the OP also could have asked to examine before making an offer. As mentioned earlier, if the seller came here and told a story of how they didn't know what they were doing and sold out at half melt, the buyer (especially if a dealer) would be vilified. How about the threads where someone was congratulated for butting in and not allowing an evil dealer to pay 50%? My only point is that the same people who go out of their way to bash dealers are now nowhere to be found. It's a double-standard and nothing more. I do want ikandiggit to know that this all is only for the sake of argument, and as he probably knows from my last post, I see nothing wrong in what happened. OP, I apologize if (in any way) I've brought a negative vibe to your thread[/QUOTE]
