<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1643597, member: 19463&quot;]It is important not to look at asking prices when determining a market but at realized final sales.&nbsp; I do not buy high end coins and CNG seems to be doing well selling them.&nbsp; The moderate things I do buy are still being offered by some dealers at prices I won&#039;t pay but I have found enough other coins from other sources to consume my budget.&nbsp; That is all that matters.&nbsp; I think the question is whether a dealer who realizes that he is not going to get his dream price decides to sell for a fair price or hold on and see if things go up.&nbsp; You saw my recent Augustus/Agrippa Crocodile coins.&nbsp; I bought two for under $250 each and was rejected with a similar offer for a similar quality coin by a dealer who wanted over $400.&nbsp; That is fine, there are plenty of crocs in the pond.&nbsp; I will get the other type I want someday just not today.&nbsp; Buy what you want; pay what you want; patronize dealers you want to see succeed.&nbsp; You and the thousand other people like you make the market.&nbsp; I do expect to see some marginal dealers fall by the wayside.&nbsp; Not every coin bought will return a 100% profit mark up just because somebody sets up a shop on VCoins or eBay and dreams he is a dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
