<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 257593, member: 4552&quot;]So many other things to consider. For example a dealer with a store must make sufficient money to pay for expenses as well as feed his family. Other dealers that just travel to coin shows must pay for thier transportation, food, renting of tables and spaces, etc. All have unseen expenses that must be paid for from the profit of their sales. Coin autions usually have numerous coins to sell, massive audiences if on the internet, very low overhead and you pay for shipping and handling. Then there is the horror stories of ebay and other places where what you see is NOT what you may get and many, many times nothing you can do about it. With most dealers you can see what you get, chew down the prices, return more easily if not satisfied. A dealer, once they know you can look for certain coins for you whereas an auction house or ebay, your a nobody so what you see is all there may be and occationally not that either. If you get to know a dealer with a store and want to sell your coins they may be willing to put them out in their store for you for a price, naturally. With ebay or other auction houses you can ask but heaven only knows what is the results. </p><p>True the average dealer charges more but there are so many advantages that it may well be worth the extra cost. </p><p>My only experience with buying from ebay or on line dealers has never been anywhere as good as from coin shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
