<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 385768, member: 8843&quot;]I think overall I agree with Mark on this one. In coins there are &#039;deals&#039; and there are &#039;steals&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was at a show a couple of weeks ago and the average buying price of the coin I was seeking in the grade and attribution I am wanting is $160.&nbsp; The coin is tpg&#039;d by PCGS so there&#039;s a known fair market value. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The dealer quoted it at $27.&nbsp; I handed the coin back and replied, &#039;no, sorry, I don&#039;t think so.&#039;&nbsp; At first he was a little huffy and then rechecked his sheet to find a compromise and that was when he noticed his error - he&#039;d look at the wrong line.&nbsp; So I said to him &#039;ok, now... where can we compromise between $27 and $160.&#039;&nbsp; He said &#039;How about $100.&#039; I said &#039;Um.. nope, how about $125.&#039;&nbsp; He laughed and said &quot;$110 -- but that&#039;s my last offer.&quot; and I answered, &quot;i&#039;ll take it&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll take some responses pro and con on this but in my mind what goes around comes around and I enjoy a good bargain as much as anyone but taking advantage of an error isn&#039;t cherry picking, it&#039;s just taking advantage.&nbsp; Cherry picking in my mind means finding the coins that are raw, have not been attributed with the authentication.&nbsp; Deals, not steals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
