<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2164813, member: 73266"]There is a dealer that I've gotten a few coins from that always stated " there is no money made in selling, the money is made in buying." He is correct if you look at his perspective. Selling usually has a set price, where buying doesn't. The amout of profit he makes depends on what he gave for it, the same as a collector. I've picked up a lot of silver at face through the years, was it worth more than I gave, sure or I wouldn't have kept it. If a person takes their coins to a coin shop, pawn shop, flee market, gold buyer, ect.... they do so because they know that what they have is worth more than face value before they walk in the door. If they know that much, they owe it to themselves to find out what they should get for it. It's a two-way street, if a guy gives to much for a coin, it's his fault, when he sells it for less than he gave for it, is it the dealer's fault?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
