Why even try to help?
I received a phone call this morning,,, a summary follows:
"I called because I need your help, please steer me in the right direction. I am calling about a glove that is autographed by Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Roy Campanella, Hank Aaron and I know this is hard to believe but Shoeless Joe Jackson. It has already been looked at and they said it was good." So I ask the guy who looked at it. "Someone in North Carolina." Yes, that is exactly what he said. I said "who in North Carolina?" He said it had been in a family for years and they told his girlfriend that it was good. His girlfriend is there now. "What should I do?" DO YOU BELIEVE THESE MORONS? I asked him if he was a hobbyist and he said no. So I told him how the hobby has more scammers than ever before and there is virtually no chance that the glove is authentically signed. I asked him how much they want for it. He did not quote a price. I told him to make sure to have it examined before he bought it. He said he would get back to me. If I had to make a bet on the outcome, I would bet he buys the glove. sometimes it makes you wonder why you even bother.

I once sold a 1985 Grand National T-top. Beautiful car but mechanically a POS. Car went through local (Florida) auction and ended up in North Carolina. Prospective buyer called me with questions. I was honest but no matter what problem with the car that I stated, she knew someone who could fix it. I finally wished her good luck and hung up.

Richard, all we can do is give advice. After that people have to make their own decisions. Sometimes, when folks don't believe what I say (and I am sure of what I am talking about), I just say "ok". I know I at least tried to help.
