<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 439854, member: 6370"]I think the two main things that get my goat are already listed...the cent=penny thing is irritating....but then again I just dont like anyone who diverts from a thread or a discussion to come in an correct someone about something when they KNOW what they meant. If there is something having to do with the topic that is completely wrong, or somone is truely passing on bad info, thats fine. But someone comes in and asks about a penny and someone comes in, contributes nothing to the topic at hand, just came in to correct the person by telling them 'uh...the US doesnt mint a penny, they mint a one cent coin' ... You know what? get over it...you know what he was talking about. Its nitpicking and an attempt to make oneself seem like they know something...Its like correcting a person when he uses the wrong version of there, they're, their....you know he used the wrong form of the word, you see how he used it, and know what he meant...</p><p> </p><p>That and the dealer who, even if I showed him an authentic Eid Mar will tell me 'Oh, Its not worth that much because (put a litany of reasons here) but I could probably give you...say...10 USD'</p><p> </p><p>Sometimes I think dealers just think everyone is stupid and dont know the value of a coin or medal. I had a guy here contact me regarding a coin I posted here. Low ball the coin is worth 600 USD...I was asking questions about the text on the coin, maybe the guy thought I didnt know its worth as well, he offered me 200 USD for it...he might as well just have written a message to be calling me a moron.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
