[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 51324, member: 989"]A dealer in your area is going to give you a price that allows him to make a profit. Selling on Ebay allows customers to buy directly from you, thus you get the opportunity to make the money the dealer would otherwise. I sold some coins when I first started Ebay and was well satisfied with the prices I got. But I did offer a return policy. Trustworthy...... when $$$$ are involved...........? No comment. Just remember, that dealer, ANA or not, is in business to make a living. He is NOT your friend, nor is he interested in doing you any favors. Get an itemized written price from the dealer, then compare to prices they are going for on Ebay. If you are new, and even if you are not, when the dealer offers you $XX for that "MS-60 _____ coin", chances are that coin is at least a MS-61 or higher. If you do not know what you are doing, a dealer will screw you with the grading. If it is an inherited collection, at least you are not losing your own money by going to a dealer. Some local ANA dealers are just as crooked as the worst Ebay seller. All the "ANA" distinction means is that he pays an annual fee for that logo to be on his door.[/QUOTE]
