<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 26230253, member: 24754&quot;]If you are purchasing an item from a dealer and getting a good deal, then whomever the dealer purchased the item from must have gotten ripped off. This is why I generally don&#039;t like the idea of profit motivated middle men when it comes to collectables. The required profit margin has to be eaten by either the buyer, the seller, or both. I&#039;d prefer a world where the values were determined based purely on availability and collector demand. I&#039;m not naïve enough to think that we could possibly live in a perfect world in any respect, but one can dream! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We probably agree on this point, but I did specify that my advice especially applied to &quot;common, yet valuable coins&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, we agree.
