<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mouthgum, post: 1549241, member: 41319&quot;]<b>Thanks for your replies</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Im fairly new to collecting and its not that I want to sell my collection but Id like to know whats it worth and if I paid a fair price for it. I go to a coin show and approach a dealers table... I see a note that I like and I look in the catalog and the dealer is selling it for the catalog price and gives me a 10-20% discount... I dont know the market that well and Id like to know if Im paying a fair price for it... Im not that deep in the market and Id like to know the leeway so I can bargain properly when buying or selling. At coin shows, I browse through dealers boxes and I choose a note that I like and I dont necessarily know much about the note at the time, all I have is the catalog... I dont want dealers taking advantage of me by giving me a 10-20% discount from the catalog price when in reality I can get 50% so I was wondering if there was a general consensus among amateur collectors. Once I went to a stamp show and a friend told me to be careful because most stamps sell for 30% of catalog. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, what are the countries that sell poorly? What is the best way to sell a collection? Is it to approach a dealer at a show, approach a dealer at place of business, ebay, or other auction? I dont have too many rare notes, most notes that I bought, the dealer usually had more than one and then I saw other dealers offering them for sale. I do have some nice ones, including France, but then I have Iran, Zaire, St Helena, Falkland Island, Seychelles, etc...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your replies. I havent decided which ones I want to sell and once I do I will post the details to see what people think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
