<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2988245, member: 59737"]In the end, you are right. It's his gift and he could do as he pleases (and being truly fair, he could clean it if he wanted to and it's none of our business). Except that he's very public about what he does with his coins and opens himself up to commentary. I think the issue taken here is that he's taken his gift and attempted to turn it into a profit. I'd have been satisfied if he had responded saying he would use that money to buy a new coin that he wanted, but he instead tried to play it off like he's somehow helping other people by profiting off his gift. Honestly, that response made me more upset because he has convinced himself he's doing a good turn and feels good about it. I know that we wouldn't be able to collect our coins without dealers, but most of the ones I meet have sold more than just their coins to get where they are... I'm done beating up on C-B-D, but I'm also never going to purchase from him in the future as I don't like his approach to business ethics, and that comment extends far beyond this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
