<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 3456712, member: 13650&quot;]This is the problem.&nbsp; Most of the material I want is a fixed price.&nbsp;&nbsp; If they don&#039;t have make an offer as an option you may as well not waste your time asking about it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just in the last month I&#039;ve had two sellers completely ignore me and ended up buying the same coin from somebody else.&nbsp; This has happened twice.&nbsp; Had this one tell me NGC&#039;s online, regularly updated, price guide is off by $400 for an AU coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; Another one just gave a short rude response.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I have been on the selling side too.&nbsp; I try to see it from seller&#039;s perspective as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve attempted to sell some high value, non- coin items and it&#039;s a joke.&nbsp; People don&#039;t just expect a deal, it&#039;s got to be a steal and THEN you can take the 12% hit and pay the shipping.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve ended countless auctions and just kept items rather than dealing with low-ballers and taking a beating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short of playing the grading game, I don&#039;t know how dealers can come out ahead on online auction sites.&nbsp;&nbsp; That said, as a buyer&nbsp; I can&#039;t justify $800+ for a coin I would get low balled on for probably 3 or 400 if lucky with a fees hit on top of it.&nbsp; (I&#039;m the only watcher on it.)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m not looking to profit off it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just need to feel like I&#039;m paying around a break even value for a purchase when I make one.&nbsp; Even willing to pay slightly more if I really want something.</p><p>&nbsp; I need to find the segment of the hobby that is dying. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
