<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2681486, member: 19463&quot;]Dealers tend to be human beings and human beings come in all variations.&nbsp; I know more than one whose game plan is to enjoy having the coins for a while and then moving them on so a quick turnaround is not particularly desirable.&nbsp; A lot depends on whether they are trying to feed the kids or if they have a huge fortune and a small hobby.&nbsp; I know both.&nbsp; I do know one that has some coins I would like but he likes them well enough that anything approaching reasonable will come when his grandchildren sell them, we won&#039;t.&nbsp; I also know more than one person who finds their time so precious that they can&#039;t photograph and list coins on VCoins so their sit is terrible compared to what they lug to shows.&nbsp; One used to pay me to do photo work but they retired and moved to Florida.&nbsp; My collection might be better if I followed.&nbsp; I have always said that I really wish I could see everything that happened to each coin from the day it was made to the day it was dug up to the number of hands it passed through.&nbsp; Some coins sell more times at one show than others did in the last century.&nbsp; I have coins that have been with me 50+ years which is good for me but not so hot for a dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
