<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2263075, member: 112&quot;]Why ? What is it, exactly, that makes you think that ?</p><p><br /></p><p>You said in your other thread that you found some website that said a dealer would sell the coin for around $450. So is that the reason you think that $300 is a low ball offer ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, if that&#039;s what you&#039;re basing your thoughts on, you&#039;re just fooling yourself. First of all what makes you think the info on this site you found is reliable, or even close to accurate ? You&#039;ve been told by several here on this forum, who have nothing to gain, or lose, by sharing information with you that the coin is probably only worth $300-$350 - but yet you completely ignore that information in favor of the $450 figure you found someplace. </p><p><br /></p><p>Let me explain something to you, almost all collectors think their coins are worth more than they are really worth - almost all of them. And that single thing is the usual cause for collectors saying that dealers are low balling them. Well, yes, there are dealers out there who low ball. But there are also plenty of dealers who offer fair prices, realistic prices. But the collectors don&#039;t realize this because they don&#039;t know what the coins are actually worth because they live in some fantasy land where their coins are always worth more. </p><p><br /></p><p>You started out by saying how frustrated you are by &quot;price lists&quot;. But do you know why you are frustrated by them ? It&#039;s because the price lists are not worth the paper they are printed on, same goes for most web sites. And yet you are using that information to base things on, using that to indicate that you are being given low ball offers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody here has any reason to tell you anything that isn&#039;t true. Can some of them be mistaken ? Yeah of course, because not everybody knows what they are talking about. Some even believe the same things you do. Do you remember me saying almost all collectors think their coins are worth more than they really are ? But try getting one of them to pay you what you &quot;think&quot; is a fair offer. Guess what - it&#039;ll never happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are being offered what you are being offered because it is a fair offer. That&#039;s the simple truth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
