For next week's issue:  This is the same topic as last week's topic, but with   
   an example of how one person felt about "getting a deal." (We ran this many   
   years ago).  What do you think about it?   
      
   A popular hunting magazine ran an article written by a gun collector.  He was   
   so proud of himself for buying a shotgun from a elderly man who was closing   
   out his home and having an estate sale. While asking $100.00 on a particular   
   shotgun the buyer talked the elderly man down to $50.00.  The buyer proudly   
   stated how the gun was later sold for $150,000.00 and he was not in the least   
   bit concerned with "taking" the elderly man for all it was worth.  If the   
   buyer had offered the elderly man $1000.00, 10 times the amount he was asking,   
   do you think that would have been fair?  Is it the buyer's responsibility to   
   "come clean" or is it the seller's responsibility to do the proper research   
   before selling an item?

   "This childCÇÖs coat was my great auntCÇÖs from the very early 1900CÇÖs. The   
   material is like that of an old teddy bear and the buttons have bears on   
   them.  Was this a style from back then or something my great great grandmother   
   came up with on her own?  Does it have value (other than sentimental)?    
   Thanks, Ginny" You can see Ginny's coat on our facebook page if you copy and

   "I came across this in a box of things that was packed away by my mother   
   decades ago.  I haven't any idea what it is or what it might be worth.  I've   
   tried researching the company, but all I have been enable to find is   
   information on knives.  Could you please tell me what this is and what it's   
   worth might be.  Steve M." You can see photos of Steve's item on our facebook
