<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3245338, member: 76086&quot;]I wouldnt say prices are &#039;inflated&#039; on non-Ebay venues.&nbsp; Most likely and on average those prices are &#039;real&#039; retail.&nbsp; If you are looking for lower prices, well, who can say?&nbsp; Sometimes you can get them lower, sometimes higher.&nbsp; One has to know the market.&nbsp; Antinous has been discussed here a few times lately.&nbsp; There was one example sold recently by a major auction house, uber cheap, and about a third to a quarter of what it should have.&nbsp; There was one comment criticizing (I think, maybe it was just pointed out) the new owner for offering it at twice what it sold at auction.&nbsp; It was still cheap at that price.&nbsp; Its one of those auctions I completely missed.&nbsp; I would have bought it and offered at the same or higher than the one who now has it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a dealer I have experimented many times with pricing.&nbsp; In the past I have listed coins at 10% or lower than average (or what I even paid) and they still didnt sell.&nbsp; Who can tell why?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I actually agree with this.&nbsp; My comment was made in the spirit of those coins in which are not really obvious (but then that is entirely subjective as well).&nbsp; We here at CT are always willing to help out a fellow collector (or potential collector), but yes, we dont want to see 20 messages a day asking about whether or not a Gloria Romanorum soldiers/standards is genuine or not.&nbsp; It does cloud the spirit of the group, but we are always willing to help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I do understand what [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] is saying about some posters.&nbsp; Some always seem to think everything is fake, but then again there is also those who seem to think the obvious fakes are real.&nbsp; Some people just cant be helped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
