Why would I want to buy someone elses finds?

[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 228522, member: 4485"] Jeez your getting a bit dramatic "when society applauds activites synonymous with the transfer of wealth from the stupid to the unscrupulous then the great Aussie fair go will have been relegated to history". I don't think anyone here applauds that or is saying that is ok. It's all pretty above board to me. He's selling a large collection of finds & is quite open about how + where he found them. The pics to me clearly show they aren't in good condition - he even states they are "pretty worn" & I can't see how he's being unscrupulous or that he's trying to rip stupid people off. Whether the price is right or not isn't for us to judge. You either want stuff like it & will pay it or not. I personally would not pay it nor would I want it! Some others might?? I just can't see a "stupid" or inexperienced collector etc. forking out $2k for it anyway? I'd be much more offended by someone trying to sell fake or counterfeit goods than I am by someone seemingly overpricing their finds that there may be a market for anyway? Lowball or low grade coin collections are a cheaper way of getting full sets. [/QUOTE]
