[QUOTE="silver surfer, post: 159858, member: 3235"]Lately I’ve noticed the venders at the flea market (some) are asking outrageous prices for coins & currency. This past Sunday one gentleman wanted $30 for a 1964 proof set, more than double the current value, And this guy Has had these sets sitting in his display case for at least several months. Another vender was selling a well worn (fine at best) $1 Hawaii note for $150,outragous. I told him the bill was worth approx $35-$40,he pointed out the low serial # so I conceded it may be worth A bit more, but $150 is way out of line. I did end up walking away with VF-1935 peace dollar for $15, which seems about right price wise. I think these vendors are counting on selling to people who have no knowledge of coins and are making impulse buys. Reminds me of Shop at Home[/QUOTE]
