Message:: [QUOTE="Coinchemistry 2012, post: 2043577, member: 28107"]In theory, solid to high end coins should sell for more than lower end coins, and theoretically CAC coins should thus command premiums in many instances because of the quality of the coin and not the sticker. Nevertheless, I agree that this is not always the market reality, and in many cases a coin with a sticker would sell for more than the same coin without the sticker.  I don't expect that to last, and would expect some price adjustments accordingly.  You can sell to CAC without being a CAC member.  This doesn't change your argument about potential policy changes though, and absolutely, that could happen.  That's why I pay a price I am comfortable with for the quality of the coin.  I think JA and CAC would probably recommend the same.  I also agree that there is a fad like mentality among some in the market place that was (in my opinion) unanticipated by CAC. Nevertheless, my comments about liquidity were aimed at CAC bids and not necessarily the larger market context.  If I am unable to sell a coin at a price I am comfortable with, I will often send it to CAC.  In many instances, its bid levels were near my asking price and I simply moved the coins that way.  Put another way, I think CAC is an invaluable marketing tool, and I believe in firmly using it as a marketing strategy and to quickly move pieces. CAC establishes its own price lists and cannot completely control the behavior of participants in the larger market.  Sometimes things get out of hand.  JA made some comments about proportionality in pricing that I will try to find.  Don't quote me on the specifics of that though.   I don't see that as affecting the liquidity of already stickered coins. Anyone, including non-members, can sell to CAC to the best of my knowledge.[/QUOTE]
