This is after all an entertaining hobby. So it&#039;s best to avoid any stresses. There&#039;s no point arguing back or trying to make your point about what seems a personal insult. You&#039;ll just receive more of the same. Block and move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the original question, I&#039;ve also looked at the numbers</p><p>- the coins of highrating etc are genuine</p><p>- usually he initially lists them at three to four times a normal reasonable price, after buying them maybe one third below retail (many of the purchases are at public auction so the prices are public), and he allows offers</p><p>- after a few months he reduces the price by 60% (exactly) which still leaves the coin at about half above a typical retail, and he allows offers</p><p>- if you like a coin and at the 60% off price it just seems somewhat high, you&#039;ll get to the normal retail price by making an offer about one third below the (60% reduced price) and you may get a good coin at a fair price.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in numbers</p><p>- he will buy a coin for $1000 including commission</p><p>- he lists it at $5000 (and allows offers)</p><p>- after a few months he reduces the price 60% to $2000 (and allows offers)</p><p>- the coin is probably fair value in the $1200 to $1500 range. So that&#039;s when I make an offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you know the routine and wait til the 60% off phase and then make a significantly lower offer you may get a nice coin at a normal price. Of course since the numbers are all over the place, this is a seller that only experienced collectors should buy from as you really need to know what a coin is really worth from your own experience, Beginners should run a mile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
