Part of why I am such a bad business man is that I lack the ability to screw over someone. If they come to me and say I want $xxx for my stuff and I like the price, I will jump on it. But is someone comes to me and asks me what's it worth, I tell them and then try to work out a fair deal. If the collection is worth more than I can afford, then I will try to work out a consignment deal, that way, both of us end up winners.

The thing you ahve to ask yourself is if you can look yourself in the mirror every morning knowing you screwed over a old lady that put her trust in you. Sadly, most corporate type don't seem to have this problem as witnessed by Enron, Worldcom, the S&L debacle and shady things that go on in business world all in the name of the all mighty buck.
