Mercury Dimes For 3 Times Face Value?

Actually, it is very simple for me. if you are a business, I assume you know what you paid for an item and know the gross profit needed to run the business and set your selling price accordingly. I feel no obligation to adjust their pricing. Now, when dealing with an individual who really has no idea what they have or are dealing with, I try to grade properly and then offer current Gray Sheet bid for any coins that I am interested in. In essence, I am trying to buy as if I am reputable dealer and the dealers appropriate profit margin is what I am putting in my bank. This is not gouging or ripping off anyone. Carl's example is gouging and usurious.

No, this is not holier than thou, just me. I am also the guy who recently found a twenty dollar bill in the isle at Wallyworld and turned it into the manager. I am too close to meeting my maker and I am looking out for my soul.

Tukimeister, you threatened assault if you saw a business deal that you didn't like take place. Do you think you are in the right? Are you implying that assault is fine but buying well under market value isn't? If you did what you said, then you would be a commiting a possible felony and deservedly could be thrown in prison. (Edit: OK, after rereading it, you wouldn't have committed a felony, just embarrassed a person.)

It was more of a figure of speech. What I meant was, I would be sure to tell the old man what a fool he was being, and I would be sure to show that dealer what happens when you get that greedy.
