<p>[QUOTE="jamesicus, post: 4655733, member: 14873"]I take about the same approach as you - and usually have the same experiences and get about the same responses. I just exercise caution because I don’t want to create any unpleasantness. As you say, most collectors and dealers realize that your motivation is to be helpful and express their gratitude for your help. Of course, there are those who are grumpy, or are having a bad day (don’t we all!) and respond less kindly. I once had a Vcoins dealer tell me that his attribution was correct (and it might have been) and that If I wasn’t interested in buying the coin as listed I should move on and seek out another seller. But those kind of responses are few and far between. When that kind of thing happens I just “kiss it off” and remind myself that people do have bad days and that they often write things online that they would never say to people “face to face”.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
