<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yacorie, post: 1449902, member: 25257&quot;]Bring a price guide with you if you know there are a bunch of coins that you might not be familiar with and then just be honest.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been lucky enough to purchase larger lots of coins - and while none of them have resulted in me making a phenominal deal - we both always seem satisfied.&nbsp; Sometimes I might overpay for some stuff, and sometimes underpay but as long as both parties are happy - so be it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have an idea of the price or what you would be willing to pay - throw it out there.&nbsp; Often times I say - I&#039;m not sure what this coin is worth but based on the condition - I&#039;d pay XX.</p><p><br /></p><p>With everyone having computers these days - if you really wanted to you could carry a laptop or smart phone and use numismedia or some other place to get an idea.&nbsp; If the collection didn&#039;t belong to the person or they&#039;ve had the coins for decades and don&#039;t know prices - they may be looking for your to offer some insight as to the worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I don&#039;t subscribe to the belief that sellers should know what they have or the buyer has the right to rip them off.&nbsp; If I know a coin is worth 500 bucks, I&#039;m not going to offer 50 bucks just because I think I can get away with it.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a few instances where I told the person I couldn&#039;t buy certain coins because they were out of my league.&nbsp; In 2 of those cases, I&#039;m nearly positive I could have purchased those coins for peanuts compared to the true value - but 1) I have to sleep at night and 2) that could be my family member/grandparent getting scammed and that would **** me off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
