[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4939672, member: 112"][I]Dealers who buy from the public...how do you overcome unreasonable expectations and...[/I] The simplest explanation is to say - there's real world value, and what people "think" things are worth. And then when they ask - well what's real world value ? The answer is - real world value is what a knowledgeable person will pay. And then when they ask - who's a knowledgeable person ? The answer is someone who actually knows the coin market. And then when they ask - how do you define the coin market ? The answer is, the coin market is defined by what one dealer will pay another dealer for a given coin at a given time. And then when they ask, how do you know what that number is ? The answer is, it's easy, you simply look it up on the electronic dealer market. The electronic dealer market is what defines real world value for any given coin at any given time. And that's the simple truth. Now are they gonna like that answer ? Are they gonna be satisfied with that answer ? Almost definitely not. Nonetheless it is the truth. And it's been the truth since the days of tickertapes - in other words, for almost a hundred years now. That's how long the electronic dealer market has existed. The bottom line is this, people will only believe what they want to believe. No matter what the facts are, no matter what the truth is, if it's not what they want to believe, then they aren't going to believe it. And at that point, well, you're done, there's nothing else you can do.[/QUOTE]
