<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3078774, member: 77639&quot;]The auctions I&#039;ve attended have been at shows and sparsely attended, and a great many of those in attendance appeared to be dealers. Not surprising. After all, the dealers were already at the show, so it was a pretty good use of their time.&nbsp; However, the vast majority of coins sold were not to the floor but to internet, phone, fax, or mail bidders.&nbsp; So how is it you know that most of these coins were bought by dealers?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you meant to say that most of the bargains at auctions are won by dealers, I won&#039;t argue.&nbsp; They do know values better than collectors though they may or may not determine those values.&nbsp; And they likely have bigger buying budgets than the average collector as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know execs at a couple of the big auction houses.&nbsp; When I&#039;m at Long Beach next month, I&#039;ll try to remember to ask their opinion on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
