Goodbye Moneygrubbers

Discussion with various managers and complaints from some mineral dealers have caused us to change the name of the forum from Moneygrubbers to Specimen Valuation. I have often thought that the name along might repel some people from asking for valuation on their specimen simply because of the mildly antiseptic nature of the name. At any rate, we are going to try this for a while and see if it is an improvement and I think it will be..

Good call.

Moneygrubbers always sounded judgemental in my opinion.

Specimen Valuation has a more professional ring to it.

The forum is called Mineral Valuation & certainly sounds nicer to me.

I agree with the change.

HEY ROCK, Suggest you edit your title.............there is a big difference between "GOOD BY MONEYGRUBBERS" and GOOD BYE MONEYGRUBBERS. "BUY" the way, I agree with you!!!! CHEERS..........BOB

Good idea.There may be many genuine reasons why people need to sell-up these days. These are difficult times for many.

I always thought that title Moneygrubbers would be appropriate for a discussion about the specimens that got sold for a very high prices despite their characteristics or obvious basically pieces that one would never expect to sell that high. General valuation does not fall in that category specially when some people ask you a price of a chunk of Calcite or Quartz.
