<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Geoff Wall-Davis, post: 2098288, member: 71645&quot;]I fully understand what you are trying to say, and yes dealers can price&nbsp; sales to their advantage.&nbsp; I think that it can be generally accepted that a dealers buying price is that of about fifty per cent of what he can make on a sale, but rare and valuable coins are a different matter all together.</p><p>As for coin shops, over the years I have been to quite a few and all have them have provided an invaluable service to collectors.&nbsp; Over the years I have also been to many coin shows, and because there will be many stallholders competing against one other there is always going to be the chance of finding a bargain.</p><p>Do I think that coin shops etc hurt the numismatic community?&nbsp; As in most walks in life you will always get that small element who will always try to spoil things for others, but at the end of the day we make mistakes&nbsp; learn from them and go on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
