<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 747982, member: 21015"]I totally agree with the OP that if you are going to stay in business ...any business....you must make a profit...or close your doors....but I can see why some people including myself get upset at the way some dealers do business...example....one of the things I enjoy collecting is circulated silver dimes...kennedy and winged liberty...and since my budget for coins has always been pretty meager I used to go to a very well established and respected dealer in my area buy his 90% silver at 14-15x face fill the holes in my folders and put the rest in my small junk silver hoard...now I never really had an issue paying the price ..but I was somewhat recently in need of cash and went to the same dealer to sell some silver and was offered 9.50 x face...now silver has gone up 2-3 dollars an ounce since my last purchase so needless to say I was pretty upset by his pricing..since then I have done my best to start and really educate myself about this hobby , and changed dealers ....all things considered I understand his objective as a dealer is to make money, and maybe that is the going rate, but it rubbed me the wrong way and until I get the education( one of the reasons I am on this site..I have been learning alot from everyone)I wont be as quick to buy coins from anyone..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
