<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 358080, member: 3235"]Innocent mistakes on my part are just a learning opportunity, as Debora mentioned. What bothers me and hurts all of us, is blatant deception by a seller - complete misrepresentation of an item, taking advantage of a novice. I do speak up while overhearing dishonest transactions at flea markets, etc. and it can make for an ugly moment, but honor and trust are so important. The good people in the business is where much of the joy of collecting comes from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
