<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1040064, member: 19463"]Whether it is VCoins, eBay or a local coin show, The majority of coins are priced at more than most of us are willing to pay.

It does not take too long to figure out which are seriously in business to sell coins and who is sitting there waiting for a fool to come along and buy something for twice what they paid retail. There are many genuine dealers on VCoins who sell for a reasonable markup over what they had to pay for the coin. Some pay too much. I'd say the percentage of good ones is better than on eBay or local coin shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of all hobbies I have had association which, ancient coins have the most variations in prices for what seems like the same coins. The answer is to buy only what you want for the prices you want to pay.
