<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1072323, member: 112&quot;]You can see it anywhere, at coin shows, dealer shops, web sites, flea markets, swap meets, pawn shops - anywhere ! The thing you have to realize is that it is not the venue that matters, it is the people. And the people that do this are everywhere !</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Hobo&#039;s story being somewhat typical. But it is important for readers to realize that these traveling coin buyers are NOT the only ones who do these things. </p><p><br /></p><p>It is also important that anyone who is selling a coin has a responsibility to educate themselves, to be responsible for their own actions and to protect themselves from being taken advantage of. It is also very important that sellers have the ability and knowledge to know when someone is trying to take advantage of them, and when someone is not trying to take advantage of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t tell you the number of times that I have heard people complain that dealer so and so was trying to rip them off by making an offer on their coins. When in actuality the dealer was making a very fair offer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Many dealer reputations have unjustly been hurt by stories like this and it is sad. It&#039;s especially sad when you realize that the damage was done by people who don&#039;t know what they are talking about ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
