<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy_goodfella, post: 14753, member: 919&quot;]well in my life i have been involved in antiques i worked for 2 london galleries and was brought up from a kid round antiques my father has a antique shop n scotland and my uncle one in inverness.And i got my first job through the antiques trade gazette&nbsp; in uk.</p><p><br /></p><p>i know how book price often is not relevant to actual get price.Its subjective but once the actual item is known it works on what someone will pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins however deal in minute details and this is where the problem lies.And it will continue too.Its actually a ruin of the trade.</p><p><br /></p><p>not because an item can be seen as a certain condition but because the diffrence in price been n iten in relatively the same state.</p><p><br /></p><p>infact looking at it i believe this is mostly to the benifit of the seller ie the dealer than anyone else.Its obvious delaers must make money but what has happened to antiques is 3eeeeeeee/4e of th shops have closed down and dealers have moved onto the internetThis is the killer of the coin trade too.Everyone knows the value f a coin now they just need to buy a few books, same thing happened to antiques infact most people thought there items were worth more than they realy were.</p><p>nly way i can see to make money in coin game anymore as same as any antique buisness is to buy item at source, through bulk lots just like the money in any antiques now is often in house clearances you buy the lot then drag out the good ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest anyone now can be a coin deler you just gotta have the money to put up[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
