[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 733948, member: 2972"]BNB, Here's another numismatic axiom: I think you will find that there are good dealers to sell to, there are good dealers to buy from. Said another way, it's good to sell to dealers who sell coins for strong prices -- they will have more room to pay good. Similarly, it's good to buy form dealers who work on thinner margins (particularly if they have a good eye), for unless you're purchasing one-of-a-kind coins (which the vast majority to include you do not) then it's best to buy coins for less if you can. As you may have guessed, the above paragraph often means the best dealer to buy a coin from is often [B]not [/B]the best dealer to sell a coin too. The exception to the rule (and there's always exceptions ;) ) is that often a dealer that you've worked with in the past will frequently buy coins back from their better customers at a high percentage of the original sales price. You should make it a point to ask the dealers that you're working with their buyback policy, but don't expect that kind of treatment from eBay. Good luck...Mike[/QUOTE]
