[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 524716, member: 12789"]Back in the fall I decided that a whole new interest had become paramount in my pursuits. That one is a lot more philanthropic, and a lot more directly enjoyable than the numismatic hobby I have engaged in since I was about 8-9 years old. I have decided gradually to let the all of my various collections of numismatic materiel, coins, banknotes, tokens, ancients, moderns etc. I have had some varied degrees of interests from fellow collectors, and they have ranged from very interested in items I have and forthright with fair offers, to those that have been almost insulting with ridiculous fire sale type offers. Now instead of offering stuff to the general public, unless I personally know the person with a specific want, the rest of the materiel I have will be auctioned through Stacks, Goldbergs and Heritage. The one that I heard from initiated contact through this very forum. I am ashamed of them, for coming to this forum to chase down something they wanted, and hoped to snag for an insulting offer. What a hobby, it truly amazes one, the participants range from great to nasty.[/QUOTE]
