<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 808555, member: 16994&quot;]When I buy coins I try to be as straight forward as possibile. I have found that it&#039;s much easier to tell someone the truth and make an honest buck then to lie to them and make a few more. They seem to tell their friends when you treat them right. (not to mention don&#039;t throw bricks through your window) Obviously I&#039;m in buisness to be profitable. If I can&#039;t make 10%-20% on a coin I&#039;m not going to buy it. I explain this up front to everyone I do buisness with. I have never charged a customer for an appraisal. To me it&#039;s a service to my customers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly it seems to help my buisness. People like being treated like human beings.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as pricing I like most dealers use a couple of instruments. The greysheet like any other guide is just that a guide. I also use my experience in dealing with other dealers whom I trust and also my experiences at the bigger shows. It takes a while to develop your &quot;coin market barometer&quot;. But from just listening, asking questions, and observing what happens at the larger shows you can get an idea of what&#039;s selling for sheet... and what&#039;s not. Sometimes the sheets are WAY off. That&#039;s what&#039;s reflected in my pricing both buying and selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
