<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 2138352, member: 28199&quot;]I&#039;m not quite sure what the difference is between &quot;picking a dealer&quot; and &quot;picking a yard sale&quot;.&nbsp; Can&#039;t have it both ways.&nbsp; It&#039;s either one (it&#039;s okay) or the other (it&#039;s bad form).</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I think a lot of people are making too many assumptions regarding the OP&#039;s buy.&nbsp; Assuming the seller is in dire straits, and needing every cent for food?&nbsp; Or is he simply clearing out some clutter?&nbsp; OP doesn&#039;t really say.&nbsp; I have gotten incredible bargains from family, friends, yard sales, and flea markets.&nbsp; Either given to me, or sold dirt cheap.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; I showed an appreciation for the item, and the owner wanted to clear some clutter, and was glad the item went to someone who&#039;d appreciate that item, at least for a little while.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes, yard sales aren&#039;t about making money, it&#039;s about getting rid of some of the dust-collecting junk, or clearing out mom/dad&#039;s estate.&nbsp; I think the OP did okay.&nbsp; Seriously, how much would any of us really pay for something like that?&nbsp; If you buy it simply for the silver content, at or near spot, is it really worth the effort to remove the coins, clean them, and re-sell them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
