<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jhinton, post: 1509858, member: 24410&quot;]A few observations:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.) Some &quot;lists&quot; are not worth some dealers time, i.e. if your list is mostly lower grade, less expensive coins; the list would be better served by a local B&amp;M dealer or a smaller vest pocket dealer. The bigger dealers simply do not have the time to look for a 2C in good or a 3C in EF. They would lose money by even looking for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.) A lot of people with &quot;want lists&quot; actually only have &quot;wish lists&quot; and when presented with the coin or coins on their lists, they do not have the money to purchase them.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.) Most of the more serious collectors, who do have the funds to back up their lists, do have lists with dealers who service them.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.) If you collect higher-end, scarce coins; you are doing yourself a disservice by not working with and through dealers. A lot of those coins will simply not be available to the general public. This is especially the case if you collect a very specialized series, i.e. seated coins, bust coins, older gold coins, certain types of exonumia and even US Philippine coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
