<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1474413, member: 28199&quot;]I agree with everything you said except this...</p><p><br /></p><p>If, as a dealer, I give the bid price to every Tom, Dick, and Harry who walks into my store with a coin to sell, then I have to move those purchases to another dealer, best case scenario is I break even.&nbsp; So if I buy off the street at less than bid, and sell to another dealer, I have room for profit.&nbsp; If I end up selling that coin to a retail buyer at ask, then that&#039;s just a bonus.&nbsp; But as a dealer, I have to make sure I can make a profit from this type of buy, so I anticipate the worse case and hope for the best.&nbsp; But this also lets me sell retail at a percentage under the ask price, which gives me a little more wiggle room with those customers, so they continue to come back.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not saying selling on your own is wrong, but if you go the dealer route, this is why you can expect less than the bid price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
