Message:: [QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 24143, member: 1258"]Unfortunately, I know that most people don't know what a "great deal" is. The sad thing is, with the advent of the internet, there are so many ways to research and learn about an item before throwing money away. I have found that many people are just too lazy to do their research for themselves and even joining a forum such as this one, or one of the many others available, just takes too much effort. Our society is catering more and more to this type of mentality and there is always a salesman waiting to take advantage of these people. I have certainly got burned a couple of times. But it was because I felt the risk was worth it, and I chose to take that risk after weighing what I could gain and what I could afford to lose. On many of these, I have made out quite well. On a couple, I was wrong. The blame is on me for those and I accept full responsibility. What happened to these types of values? I know they still existed when I was growing up. I would like to point out that TV sales would never have reached the height they are at now if not for the people who supported it by purchasing. Although I absolutely abhor the misleading and false advertising that is occurring on TV, I have to put some of the blame on the people who are happily throwing their money away on deals that are obviously "too good to be true" and then blaming the seller. Buyers have to take some responsibility for their actions. If help wasn't so readily available, I could have a little more understanding - but people need to get up off their behinds and take some responsibility for their actions! If you are willing to throw $100 or more away on misrepresented coins, then take that $100 and buy some books and educate yourself!![/QUOTE]
