<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2138571, member: 71338"]I'd scrap that clock right away and put the coins in holders. As for the price paid, I'd maybe just pay a dollar or maybe more. Sometimes when I find a deal at a flea market I offer more, many times I don't. As mentioned earlier, I don't think buyers should have stricter morals with coins than other items. Maybe the thought arises that we should offer more because we value coins so much. As you all know, the majority of people could care less about coins. The seller of the clock clearly is one of these people. It's not our job to appraise an item when buying, especially at a garage sale. People get good deals on all kinds of things at garage sales, and I think coin collectors rarely do as good finding those killer deals on coins. There are exceptions, and I'm sure the op would act differently under other circumstances. Like being offered Morgans at face value by kids, that seems worse![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
