<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2803583, member: 112&quot;]By knowing the market. And yeah it&#039;s your responsibility, not somebody else&#039;s, to know the market, to know what you are doing before you do it. To know what you are buying and how much it is worth in reality. If you do not know this, then you should not be buying coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you run across somebody who is adding their grading expenses to a coin they are selling then you need to not buy it from them - and go look for the coin elsewhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are literally thousands of coins out there that cost $10, $20, $30, $40 to have them slabbed, but yet sell for $5, $10, or $15. Why ? Because that&#039;s all the coins are worth.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t. A coin being in slab does not add 1 cent to its value. The coin is worth X dollars out of the slab and the same X dollars in the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that a slab does for you is increase the liquidity of that coin, the saleability of that coin. In other words it makes it easier to sell - it does not increase the value. It increases the number of your potential buyers because some people don&#039;t know what they are doing and will not buy raw coins. But people who do know what they are doing - will buy raw coins. And for the same price they would buy it if it were slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
