<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3241629, member: 112"]Randy, every tactic you can think of has already been thought of and used for decades.

But every single one of them has their pluses and minuses.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is, without question, one of the best methods there is. Which is why big money buyers/collectors use it. But that is a tactic for auctions. There is however another similar but slightly different version of it. And it typically results in even better prices. This tactic involves having a dealer work for you on the electronic dealer market. </p><p><br /></p><p>Every single day thousands upon thousands of coins are listed on the electronic dealer market - at wholesale prices. For you to take advantage of that you find a dealer, tell him what you want, and then simply let him go and buy it for you. The discount of the wholesale price even covers the fee you pay the dealer to do this for you. Net result you get the coin at retail or slightly below. The disadvantage of this method is that the coins are purchased sight unseen - meaning no in-hand viewing of the coin prior to purchase.
