Message:: [QUOTE="Sholom, post: 612100, member: 17753"]Being honest is "holier than thou" ?  Wow.  In any event, I'm not worried about trying to be "holier than the next person", I just worry about trying to elevate my own self.  (And I know I have lots of room for improvement in that area). But, back on topic: Reminds me of an old story told about George Bernard Shaw (if I remember right) -- it went something like this: he asked a woman at a dinner party if, hypothetically speaking, she would sleep with him for $100,000,000 -- she said yes. He asked her again, for real, if she would sleep with him for $20.  She was very offended and replied "what do you think I am?".  His answer: "We've already established what you are, we're just negotiating the price now." I presume readers will see the point. A suggestion: contact the mint and ask them to charge your CC an extra $8.95 x 2.  Or, simply tell them: "I ordered 3 and got 5, I don't want to return the other two, what should I do?"  They will probably be very happy not to deal with a return.  You'll probably get charged $17 -- a small price to pay considering you can sell them for, what, $50-$70 each on ebay, and knowing that you were completely honest. (Oh, and I would make sure that you weren't already charged for 5 sets!  If you have paid for 5 and got 5, I'd think you were totally in the clear)[/QUOTE]
