Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1852519, member: 37839"]You got hissy without the facts.  I was saying that the ideal situation is a fair price for both parties.  That allows BOTH parties to be happy, and for both the customer to want to be a repeat customer and the dealer to be able to do business.  Right now, the coin business is fairly depressed.  Agreed, that it is not the responsibility for customers to keep a business alive and open, but on the other hand, the important thing is to get a desirable coin at a fair price.  I do think that the reciprocity aspect is important for a good climate in the coin hobby,  and have thought so for over 40 years. The other aspect of this is selectivity.  Many opt to buy a coin because it is a "good deal," as opposed to being the desirable coin that they want.  This discourages new collectors from being selective, and learning to grade appropriately.  Moreover, In my opinion, I would rather have one 8o dollar coin that was a quality item, as opposed to TWO 40 dollar coins that were undesirable.[/QUOTE]
