[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 2248882, member: 29643"]20% back of bid doesn't seem totally unreasonable. Greysheet prices are based upon dealer-to-dealer transactions. Let's say the coin is a generally slow moving piece that has a bid at $100 and ask at $105. If the coin is a slow mover, it's entirely possible that the $100 bid is an aberration, with the next bid being $88. Without having a spread listing, it'd be tough to determine this being the case or not. Anyway, the dealer would need to also pay to have the item shipped/insured, which might add another $5-$10 to their cost of selling. So, if it's a $100 coin, that's really a $88 coin, offering $80 might even be a bit high, but the LCS owner recognizes that he can take a marginal loss in an effort to build a relationship or maintain an existing one with the local customer base. Just my thoughts.[/QUOTE]
