[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 3133395, member: 59677"]The GreySheet is intended to be a dealer-to-dealer price guide and their CPG ([url]http://coinprices.com/[/url]) is designed to be a dealer-to-customer guide (i.e. retail). Before it was sold, prices on the GreySheet rarely moved down. And it was widely available. So the market had largely moved to N% back of GreySheet as the sale price at shows for commonly traded items and ignored for thinly traded items. The new owners have definite plans for the GreySheet and how they expect it to be used - they've been open about this in blog posts etc. Many dealers have been unhappy with the changes in the GreySheet, especially for thinly traded items which are (still) in the process of being adjusted to reality from their previous levels. Dealers see this as a haircut. Also, since they still sell the GreySheet to any one who wants to buy it, it used by some customers as a bit of a whip... GreySheet is $90 and CPG is $110, I'm not some shrub off the street, I'm not going to pay no $110. Me? I use the on-line and printed CPG (they're still giving it away at coin shows by the 100s trying to get people to subscribe at $30/year). But I also lust after thinly traded 3CS in XF and I know the GreySheet and CPG are baloney prices anyway.[/QUOTE]
