[quote:Anonymous Coward 801546:MV8yMDY1NTAzXzM0NzY1NTkwX0EzRDM0MjMx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1043775:MV8yMDY1NTAzXzM0NzU0OTIzXzJGMjgyRTkx] He was intentionally deceptive. Laughing like it's a joke. Saying it's worthless Canadian money. He wanted people to respond that way and it looks like he's been highly trained. [/quote] The real sheeple are the ones in this thread, saying "Oh, he is right! He is so cool! And so truthful! Everyone he talked to is stupid! I would have bought the coin!" Did you even the fucking coin? You believe it is what it is because HE says? Sorry, I grew up in Chicago. I've had probably over 5,000, no joke, 5,000 people come up to me in my 26 years between Chicago and Atlanta, either asking for change, or trying to run a scam on you. Most people, smart ones anyway, shut down immediately when someone from the street comes up to you offering you a "good deal". How hard would it be to get a coin that looks just like the real thing, and do what he is doing? How should the people know it is real, in those few seconds talking to him on the street. Common sense tells you, he already went into it with an expectation, as he EVEN SAID ON THE VIDEO. Everything about his body language, his approach, his laughing, his repeating "its worthless canadian money", and his simple one liners like "I just want starbucks coffee", or "no, not $50? How about for $20?" That is exactly how panhandlers operate, and people know this. People weren't running from the prospect of someone selling them what MIGHT be gold, they were running from a pan handler. That guy LOOKS like a manipulative POS, I would have told him to get fucking lost if he approached me. [/quote]
