<p>[QUOTE="pragmatic, post: 2781772, member: 88312"]The coin market in Egypt is not a priced market. A good purchase or deal basically depends on how good you are at bargaining the initial price the seller claims. Generally speaking, high grade coins are expensive. However, if you are a good buyer you can cut off the price. Let me give you a raw example of bargaining here:</p><p>Rule number one: if you spot something you like among a seller's collection; avoid showing deep interest in it!</p><p>Just go through different coins and ask for random coin prices and shove your favourite piece among.</p><p>Of course a seller knows his coins values; but if you take it among cheap ones, he would think you don't estimate its value, and will not stick to a high price with you. Once decided a set of coins to purchase, ask for the price, and you start to bargain for the lowest logic price till you both reach an acceptable mean (average) price.</p><p>I saw prices on ebay, to tell you the truth it is difficult to tell whether they are more expensive than here or not. But the privilige we have locally is the bargain card. On ebay there is no bargain. On the opposite there can be a bidding!</p><p>Overall, most of coins in market here are circulated. Traders are smart enough not to offer the unc coins among lower grades. So in such case, one has nothing left to do but ask for a coin specifically!! This is a big challenge, but with a good compromising trader i can easily get the coin with much better price than those online. Sometimes 50% sometimes more sometimes less. Depends on how the deal ends. practically a local trader wanna sell, so he eventually sell cheaper than online. Simply because some of these traders know not how to trade online; and if they sell at prices same as online; they lose customers who would eventually go for online purchases.</p><p>Sorry for elongating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
