<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2830361, member: 19250&quot;]I have been in the same position a few years back helping an elder whom had lost their spouse liquidate items ,that they believed to be of value only to discover they truly are not.</p><p>I had a beautiful stamp collection , coin sets purchased off TV. A ton of modern coins and of course state quarters in every shape and former one can imagine.</p><p>The best advice is be honest....pull comps. Grey sheets ask / bid ebay advance searches for finished listing and the amount that they sold for.</p><p>The thing one needs to remember the most is that the owners most need the cash flow. Most have a mind set that they are of value and many time more so worth more than they truly are.</p><p>In most cases I wouldn&#039;t take anything payment as I personally felt sorry that the owners were take. By TV hype,and dis information .</p><p>The biggest problem is finding a buyer period! More less ..then trying to convince the owner who again mind set is these are worth more then what you can actually get for them.</p><p>I totally understand the task.....and try my best to avoid getting into the same situation again.</p><p>Unfortunately people who know you collect seek you out for help.....then in your own mind you sort of want to preserve the hobby from being tainted by someone who would take advantage of an already bad situation.</p><p>Just be honest.....and do the best you can..for that person.</p><p>After all Karma does work both ways![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
