<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 258248, member: 8033&quot;]Buying slabbed coins by a reputable company and getting charged 4X as much locally? Seems those dealers are either totally out of tune with the internet or just refuse to acknowledge that it IS a factor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am like most others here (I think). I like to actually see the coin when possible then work out the details if I&#039;m really interested. I have four local dealers. Two I do business with as the others refuse to budge and even tell me &quot;I could get X amount of dollars for this on ebay&quot; when I&#039;ve already done the homework. Bottom line is they make nothing from me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of the two dealers I do business with one is VERY computer illiterate but has enough sense to realize that he may have to adjust prices to make a sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey, these guys DO have overhead and I consider them my friends after so many years. I&#039;ll pay a couple extra bucks for a nice coin but not 4 times as much.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get to know your dealers if you haven&#039;t already. Show them your pieces without mentioning price or where you got it. &quot;Test&quot; them out. If they like your coins but still insist on charging 4X what you&#039;re paying find different dealers, attend shows and be careful on the internet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
