<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 325915, member: 5036"]I know that most states have a sell as price marked law for retailers. Thats how I've bought a few items in my house that I never would have been able to afford otherwise. However, when it comes to coins, my dealer bought out my old dealer. The stuff in that store has been there for decades in some cases, so when I pick out a piece, he looks it up in the greysheet, after asking what I grade it and quotes me a fair price, sometimes you've got to flex on marked prices since the market in the last five years have been volitile, conversely I've walked out of other shops, when they changed the price because I thought they were attempting to gouge me, grading the coin a whole grade higher than it should have been and using not the grey sheet, but the magazine coin values to quote me the price, so what should have been a $3-5 dollar coin was $15. I never went back, and this was a place where I spent thousands of dollars, including purchasing some very nice toned high appeal coins for above retail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
