<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 351925, member: 8843&quot;]At first read I had appreciation for your motives - offering non committed value estimate purely for the exposure and experience of grading.&nbsp; Then, as I continued to read and reached the part about &#039;Free grading yet offering to buy anything they have&#039; the flags started waving. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Are you fully prepared for that ?? ( You have the financial backing?)&nbsp; Hopefully you have an established (liquid) backer to assist.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If not ~ I see the makings of the stereotypical coin dealer we all love to bash here -- cherry picks the good stuff at 50 percent of bid and leaves the poor schmuck w/the average (and over inflated appraised stuff) to try to deal with on their own.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The weight of the collection (40lb) reference is completely irrelavent to the possible value of the coins.&nbsp; That comment makes me wonder if you&#039;re prepared to do such a deal alone.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you ARE financially prepared to proceed legitimately and purchase the entire collection, you ARE going to have to carry cash with you or the seller is going to be leary of accepting your check, so you WILL put yourself at risk REGARDLESS because every home you walk into is a potential risk.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you appraise it but can&#039;t buy it because you don&#039;t have the money w/you the first time ~ then you are setting yourself up for a risk the second time you go back.&nbsp; ALSO ... any time you appraise and value a collection, if you don&#039;t get it the first time, you have to do it ALL over again on the second try.&nbsp; Coins can be swapped, key dates changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
