Message:: [QUOTE="imrich, post: 1857929, member: 22331"]This is a self-explanatory response sent last night to a craigslist viewer (one of two similar ad responses) with a similar opinion to yours, sending an e-mail telling me of a simple error in one of my ads selling $50 face of high grade "Mercury" dimes, and that my offering price was unrealistic. Dealers (e.g. coinflation) have created an unrealistic expectation for retail values, which buyers expect for PM offerings. I'm very pleased that the average buyer has these unrealistic expectations which allow the acquisition of many bargains on eBay when knowing the normal retail values. "Hi Joe: Thanks for the notice of the ad error which has been corrected. Although the price may be greater than that which you desire, if you look at actual sales prices shown for "junk silver" in the coinflation (bottom of page) you'll see that my price is unmatchable for this condition/type coin, which I've regularly sold on 2 other internet sites at ~20% greater prices. I've sold/delivered 4 orders in the less than 24 hours that the ad has been posted. 2 orders were to a local B&M coin dealer who also sells on craigslist. If you can locate a better price, I would strongly recommend that you purchase, and realize a profit on other sites. There are few offering at this price in relatively small volume. My price is less than dealer "Grey Sheet" for this type/grade/volume. Thanks for your efforts. Best Wishes, Rich"[/QUOTE]
