[QUOTE="areich, post: 1418635, member: 37479"]Hello I believe that the perception of rudeness most normally happens in people when they think that one is overstepping the informal boundaries of pervue between two different individuals, or when one is slighting another, especially without cause, in this case, in the interaction between you and the dealer. Dealers have a decent idea what they want to sell their coins for, and might be willing to negotiate. They will not, however, like being told that they are greedy because of the grey sheet, which in case you didn't know it, is not the only method that dealers price things, nor is it the last word on the market or what deals should price things at, as any casual review of Heritage Auctions can tell you. Sales on auctions vary widely from the sheet (of course). Now, moving on to your insult of people who collect and buy toned coins at a premium, I think that even you can realize that your opinion on that issue has no importance, but it does serve to irritate many people without reason. As a fact, people do buy coins based on aesthetic assessments well beyond the limitations and imperfections of sheldon scale and redbook ANA guild lines. This is a fact within the market place. This hobby is about pleasure. A young person to come along and make others miserable without cause serves to detract the enjoyment of this hobby for everyone else. Without being rude, I would ask you to not do that. Amanda[/QUOTE]
