<p>[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 4798785, member: 39084"]I'm puzzled as to exactly how to establish that a dealer has "...the sole intent of selling them in their business at a profit." Would it be OK for the dealer if he/she intended to sell them at a loss? What if the dealer purchased the coins at auction but their buyer backed out, or couldn't pay for them, or died? Could the dealer then sell them at a profit? Would they have to be returned to the auction house and auctioned again? What if my dealer shows me the coin, and I change my mind, but my dealer wants to keep the coin for his inventory and a later sale?</p><p><br /></p><p>We are definitely not talking about a semantic difference here. An auction is an opportunity to bid on a coin and acquire it for whatever purposes the winning bidder desires. Delving into, and trying to control, the motives behind an individual's acquisition of a coin isn't productive -- least of all not for the seller who is hoping to maximize his/her sales price for the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
