<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2529203, member: 76086"]I have time left in the day and I am on a roll, so I apologize if I am monopolizing the thread. As regards to mark up and what a dealer has paid and the discounts one might take. ...Just an example: I bought a coin on Ebay some time ago for $550. Research ultimately showed that it sold in a major auction three years ago for $525 plus commissions but is now slabbed (so I guess his cost was roughly $615 plus slabbing fees). I am currently offering it at $600. No bites as yet (though many dealers have offered me $250 or less). BUT, it is unique and unpublished. There isnt another example out there and if you want it I have the only one. You have to pay my price or you simply wont own it. Done deal. I honestly think $50 profit for me (or 8%) is really quite fair. BUT, others may disagree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
