[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2642824, member: 73165"]Totally reasonable. Many of the dealers I buy from don't have physical shops to pay for, so that keeps prices down a little bit, too. Indeed. I don't mind paying fair retail as a collector, because that's the cost of not being able to go to the big auctions, not having to travel to 50 coin shows a year, and not having to maintain a business.
