<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3185457, member: 74863&quot;]As an antique dealer I can tell you, yes, they are overpriced. On coins, sets, medals, tokens or anything like it. They have rent, overhead and other costs to pay, including what they paid. Carrying them as part of their inventory broadens their customer base, despite being high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t buy from them but I do look. It costs me nothing but a little time and I might find a bargain. I also sell but at reasonable prices. If you make me an offer I may not be available to accept or counter as I don&#039;t work in the antique mall. I&#039;m located in a small town, in a small store but there are 16 dealers in there. It&#039;s very competitive so I like to deal in volume with lower prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have found numerous bargains in antique stores, flea markets, etc but I have also walked away from several spaces in malls. If the dealer is high on coins, they will be high on their other merchandise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
