<p>[QUOTE="spirityoda, post: 1826863, member: 44633"]wow that was a jerk dealer. you are better off selling to coin collectors. I have bought coins off people here on CT. great deals too. it all depends on the coins you are selling. there grade, rarity, and eye appeal. you should never expect to get retail prices ever. dealers need to make money on the coins so there offers will be from 10-60% lower than retail. it takes time to find fair/great dealers. I have found my share off bad ones at coin shows in Las Vegas. and I have found some that I buy from all the time that give me discounts if I buy from them ever time I go there. do NOT be afraid to ask for a discount if you buy $200-500 dollars worth from them. it's been 3 years since I went to my last coin show in Vegas. not that I have not wanted to go... it was a debt problem getting in the way. my new way of buying coins is... if it's a lot of money for a coin... it has to have amazing eye appeal. and ask myself would many other people want this coin in the future should I choose to ever sell it ??? it takes a long time to find good dealers. If you want to make money at selling coins it takes any where from 10-30 years for some coins to rise in value. some coins obviously bring more money than others. I wish you better luck out there. over time you will find better dealers out there. you might also ask to do some trading for your coins. I know 1 dealer in the Vegas coin shows that likes trading for his coins. yes it might be more coins than you want to trade, but in the end you did not spend money getting new coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
