[QUOTE="ED TAY, post: 583159, member: 18449"]So if I had sold buffalo nickels I paid $60 to $ 90 a piece for six cents a piece, a Mercury dime for I paid $ 70 for 15 cents. could you look me in the eye and say that is a reasonable profit? If I took him up on that, it would kinda look like I was running the charity, don't you think? and the reason I wrote this thread to began with, If I advertise to collectors, and 15 dealers show up at my door instead, and before they came over, I said, "I have 1973 S SIlver IKE proofs for $40 a piece and star notes $7.00 a piece", and they say "shure I'll buy those" show up an hour later, then its greysheet time, and $15 dollar IKEs and a dollar for dollar star notes, and stomp off mad because I wont sell. The question I have to ask, and it seems to be over and over again, is why not be upfront on the phone before they come down and save the trip? Is being upfront not part of the Code of Coin Dealing? My bad, I guess I come from a time when someone's word was someone's word, I now stand corrected, I'm in the wrong![/QUOTE]
