the second i read F's comment I thought that would be very fair solution. I'll keep it in mind for myself as I've come across this situation before. I sorta did what Barry said - but still thought that "I" would feel more comfortable for "him" - if he could see evidence of the values at that specific "moment in time" on eBay - not those refleted in a price guide. He never thought I was taking advantage in any way - I wasn't of course - but the primary goal of a buyer besides the object itself - is to get it at a good price - and the seller to get a good price....... In a situation like that - it can create a confict of interests - as I always want to be as fair to my friends as I can be - but I try to get things for my collection cheaply (pockets not that deep) - unless they are rare in which case I usually overpay . If the items were rare - I suppose making an offer would be even more problematic.
