<p>[QUOTE="seasnake, post: 1365530, member: 25449"]I've been collecting for less than 15 years, rethought my goals a few times and learn more (hopefully) every day. I visit a local shop, like the owners a lot and have brought them a little business over the years so they seem to like me also. They also seem to have the best prices for buying bullion, coins not so much. On the vast majority of visits I see sellers with little knowledge of coins disposing of what they hope is a fortune but is really just common dates in circulated condition but rarely see anyone buying coins. They know I do high end toners and they call me when they get a coin or mint set that I might like but there are just sellers, not buyers when I go. What do shops that take in collections of lower end stuff do with it? I doubt they bother with Ebay so do they wholesale it out to other dealers and, if so, what do they do with it. I'm sure they have some favorite buyers for speciality coins and I have put in a request twice for high end slabs that they filled in short order but they seem to take in much more than what goes out across the counter. Just curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
