<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1826657, member: 26302&quot;]I have to disagree BU. Seriously, turn your argument around. No one forced the pawn shop owner to sell to the man,&nbsp; If you haev a problem with a collector cherrypicking a pawn shop, would it stop there? Why should the pawn shop get the money? If anyone should get more money in such a situation it should have been the person who sold it to the pawn shop, right? If you agree on that point, (and if you do not please explain how this is moral), then either way the pawn shop gets no extra money. So how are they hurt. If they bought the coin for $20 and sold it for $50, or they buuy it for $200 and sell for $230, they get the same profit, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>So, given how the original owner most likely would never get another dime, and the pawn shop is supposed to be experts since they are in the business of selling coins, I see ZERO percent reason to go back and pay him more really. I am betting the pawn shop made a good profit on the transaction. THe real loser overall was the person who sold to the pawn shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if your response BU was from someone bragging how he met some little old later and only paid her 10 cents on the dollar for her deceased husband&#039;s coin I would be as morally outraged as you. However, I simply do not view this scenario that way. Dealers have a DUTY to know their stock. How many times have you heard cherrypicking stories of someone finding a no S dime or nickel proof set from dealer stock. Were you morally outraged at every single one of these as well?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
