<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 12418, member: 487&quot;]When looking for a dealer or seller of coins, there should be as much effort as the collection that you are attempting to assemble. Many sites offer the ability for people to come together to buy and sell coins. When considering which venue to use, also take into consideration that most of these sites do not assume any responsibility for the actions of their guests. Their perception of their responsibility begins and ends with the words &quot;buyer beware&quot;. </p><p>With the buying and selling of coins, there are still too many factors that can be argued. Since there are no hard and fast rules governing this hobby, a few simple steps can be used to minimize your risk. If you only deal with dealers whom are associated with the ANA or PNG, you limit your risks a little. </p><p>Most people flock to the auction services because they are instilled with the belief that &quot;deals&quot; are out there. Sellers also flock to the auction services because &quot;High prices&quot; are out there. You will notice that these are contradictory terms. Anyone with a coin can be a &quot;dealer&quot; on these sights. Many are only there to take advantage of the uninformed and uneducated. Far too many sell sub-par coins certified by sub-par grading services. </p><p>As far as dealing with dealers who operate a &quot;coin business&quot; you certainly limit your ability to get a good coin for less than market price. Other than cherry picking, you won&#039;t find the so called auction deals. </p><p>All dealers are not honest, and all will not exactly treat you fairly. Dealers are in the business of buying and selling money.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is very easy to check referrences and/or feedback of the dealer. Take into consideration what your goals are, along with what you want your collection to be. </p><p>Once you find one, take the time to build a relationship with them. Having a dealer as a friend is like having an inside connection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
