<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinspy, post: 1711906, member: 31833&quot;]Nickels....</p><p>You summoned it up... in a few words..</p><p>There are no ethics involved.. , a deal is a deal!</p><p>Now, i tell you guys 2 stories which both happened to me within2 weeks!!!!</p><p>1&nbsp; A ex- coin club member came to the monthly meeting with a large bag full of coins, mostly Silver and some Canadian provincial coins. He advertised he wanted to sell them.</p><p>remember, EX member which presumes he does know what he is doing.</p><p>I looked through his coins and after asked him what he wanted for them... he shrugged his shoulders.</p><p>so, I said: would you accept $ 500 for all of them? ( I knew there was at least that much in silver, plus there were 2 1880 25 cent pieces.. reasonably rare and the right variety).</p><p>he said: cash?... i counted out 5 one hundred dollar bills and offered it to him. he took the money and handed me the bag with all the coins.</p><p>there were 4 witnesses to the conversation and transaction.</p><p>Good deal......</p><p>about 40 minutes later he comes over and wants his coins back.... sellers remorse!!!</p><p>mmmm what am I to do??? legally the deal is done. So I said:L I need to think about it, as we have a legal consummated contract.</p><p>so I asked him why???&nbsp; he said he was hoping to raise some $ as he is very short on cash and lost his job.</p><p>I reversed the transaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>2&nbsp; i went to a flea market and saw a table with some very old trains, wide tracks. I made the seller, a 79 year old man a deal for all he had there.</p><p>paid him and loaded it into my Jeep.</p><p>then he said: I have a basement full at home, would you like to buy these also?</p><p>went to his home and bought the whole deal... trains, over a hundred locomotives... coming out of my ears... ( posted it on the train forum).. total, all inclusive (flea market incl) was $ 3000.</p><p>I have a spare Garage and set all up in there and was hoping to sell them... It started to bug me.. why the heck did I buy these trains????</p><p>I had buyers remorse..</p><p>2 weeks later the seller came to my door and asked if he could have them back....</p><p>&nbsp;we reversed the deal... we both were happy..</p><p>he found it hard to part with his life long collection of trains which he collected since age 12.....he was unable to have a decent nights sleep.. it bugged him..</p><p>again, legally, the deal was done.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why am I telling these two stories??????</p><p>because in each case both parties knew exactly what they were doing. Both parties were of sound mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I guess that is where the &quot;ethics&quot; come in.. sometimes also called GREED....</p><p>really, I am not so sure why I am telling these stories here... just thought there was some possible relation....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
