First, welcome. I though Tough meant no offense, he just was trying to avoid a potential problem. You certainly do not want to LOSE money and...
Do you mean a really low-ball bid like 50% of FMV (what I call a "stink bid") ? Or more where you are just hoping for a decent discount off FMV,...
I didn't think of that. All of the coins or bills are graded. Thx !! :D What I'd REALLY like to do is get rid of the 150-200 or so Silver...
Ever gone a bit nutso in an auction ? I did....a few months ago, had some bids that were "stink bids" for relatively big $$$ (~ $500 each) but...
GD, who has been buying those world coins keeping the bull market alive ? Dealers and auction houses MUST know who the buyers are (they do for art).
Have multiple indices....if not 50 names in an index, then no more than 100. GD, the DJIA only catches about 35% of the broad stock market...
Wow, thanks Doug....really great answer.
Hey, maybe I'll bring this to PCGS's or NGC's attention at FUN. Maybe Heritage or Stacks wants to create an index, too (free advertising !). It...
Which show -- Whitman ?

Yup, never paid attention to it. Just focused on the words SILVER CERTIFICATE. I guess there are Green, Dark Green, Light Green, Gold, Yellow,...
OK, this makes some sense when you think about it. And I could CERTAINLY see this being the case 20 or more years ago. But in the Internet...
But it's still a sale...and if you make a few of those per day (esp. with a good markup) doesn't that help you get to your goal of making $$$ on...
Hard to believe you could be disappointed attending a big show like FUN (which I am doing for my 1st big non-local show). I mean, if I was...
Look, people priced things where they thought they should trade. The market is often wrong: Pets.com, ProPlayer.com, Enron, etc.:banghead: I...
The market rose parabolically for a few years. The price was what it was. You're not saying that if the market price for an MS65 Saint was...
BB, I don't know about that. In the span of a few years, you just had the TPG's verifying the coins real grade...you had electronic...
Stacks Bowers would probably say that Cosmo Kramer is a better credit risk than me. :D
That's OK because I can only afford sour cream......:D
I think GDJSMP said as much with the links to all the sub-sectors of the PCGS 3000. You have to know the composition of an index and the...
