<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3703971, member: 26302&quot;]You are missing an element many people miss. For lower valued items, there is a distinct &quot;mess with it&quot; cost. A dealer is NOT going to list a $.15 note. He might PAY $.15 or less for certain notes, but to be worth his effort at all, he is going to charge $1-$3. This cost will NEVER be recoverable. </p><p><br /></p><p>I face this all of the time. I buy group lots, sometimes knowing the individual coins might sell for $20 each, but I get them for $5 each. Why? Because most ancient dealers do not want to dink around listing $10 coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Low end stuff is low end, and best acquired in large batches if you want them. A dealer will sell you a group of 100 miscellaneous notes for $30, but will not list 100 auctions for $.30 each. Anyone buying lower end stuff should be aware of this phenomenon. Taking a price of a single coins is not necessarily the value in bulk, there is a &quot;mess with it&quot; upcharge for the dealer to be bothered listing inexpensive items. That is why in the old days these were in pick bins, it was an inexpensive way for a dealer to get rid of cheaper coins without putting in any labor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
