<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1835405, member: 19122&quot;]Ahhhh Barfly, you have hit upon some truths, but these truths are not necessarily universal. I remember our moderator doug once posting about a friend of his who was offered LESS than face value for a collection, from more than one dealer in a certain locality,&nbsp; I believe he said it was salt lake city, but maybe it was somewhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting I mentioned my newbieness to a dealer at a show, he proceeded to usher me to his collection of problem details slabbed coins that were going at more than greysheet.</p><p><br /></p><p>One local Brick and mortar place gave me the &quot;these coins do not sell, I have too much inventory of them&quot; when I showed him some coins, (that I was not thinking of selling, just showing)&nbsp; When I then asked to see some of his , since I might be buying, all of a sudden those coins were popular coins that command a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes there is a bit of cronyism in the hobby, and good to see your BS detector was working, so you did not take the dealer at his word, but red book prices? really?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
