<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2529093, member: 19463&quot;]We have another &#039;situation&#039;.&nbsp; Some dealers are really dealers buying and selling coins to put food on the table.&nbsp; Some are in it for the hobby.&nbsp; They buy a vCoins membership, work coin shows and issue lists but their main interest is building their collection.&nbsp; A dealer who does not want to sell a coin can put a price on it that will guarantee that it will only sell for a price that he could survive the loss of a friend.&nbsp; The $18k coin marked to $39k can be enjoyed for a while and eventually sold for half price.&nbsp; Is a 100% markup all that unusual?&nbsp; Whenever any of us sell something we might wonder if we could have got more.&nbsp; Marking a coin at a very high price makes room for &#039;professional&#039; discounts without ruling out the possibility that a billionaire beginner will pay full price.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Should dealers get a discount when they buy from each other or should they pay full buyer&#039;s fees and full retail when they are buying stock or personal items?&nbsp; How many dealers are really hobbyists playing businessman?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
