<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 682359, member: 13650&quot;]Yeah, I have to agree.&nbsp;&nbsp; BNB, have you ever went to a coin store or a show and dealt with dealers face to face?&nbsp;&nbsp; Most have been around a long time and they&#039;re *in the business to make money.*&nbsp; They&#039;re not in business to make you money.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;re not there to give you a good deal, although they&#039;ll try to make you feel like you got one when you left.&nbsp; Some won&#039;t deal at all and are offended if you offer $10 less on something.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want any of their profit cut.&nbsp; So what does that leave for you?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Most will try to sell their problem coins at a premium, hoping you don&#039;t notice!&nbsp; So don&#039;t think for a second that an actual premium coin will go unnoticed and you&#039;re going to pull one over on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Unless you are able to find a very rare, unnoticeable doubled-die cent that nobody knows about.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The dealers sell these coins amongst eachother at wholesale.&nbsp; 50% of retail or less!&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re buying them at full retail as any other customer. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; As was stated in another thread, most people believe what they own is much more valuable than what it is.&nbsp; Not the other way around.&nbsp; So I&#039;d say you&#039;ve got an uphill battle trying to buy coins at retail and flipping them for quick profits.&nbsp; By the time you lose on some, break even on most and sell a few at a profit, it wouldn&#039;t be worth my time trying to do it. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then you may as well forget about EVER selling back to any dealer.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen people trying to sell stuff at shows and I&#039;ve heard every excuse there is on why people&#039;s stuff is junk.&nbsp; Even modern proof gold commemoratives still in the mint case!&nbsp;&nbsp; They won&#039;t buy it.&nbsp; Too many in stock not moving!&nbsp; &nbsp; Any loose coin a dealer looks at they will instantly say it&#039;s a problem coin.&nbsp; No matter what.&nbsp; No exageration.&nbsp;&nbsp; Expect a lowball offer of 50% of what you paid if they will buy it at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
