[QUOTE="Doc J, post: 3135196, member: 29599"]I agree: Rule #1 is never to sell or buy from a stranger at a Coin Shop (they have no competition). Rule #2 is to make the rounds of every dealer at a coin show. Local shows have 20+ dealers and national shows may have 50-70 dealers. The competition is being among several other dealers which is a really good thing. Rule 2a: I usually say that the guy over there (while pointing) has the same coin for $20 less (being honest). Rule 2b: Do Not Offend him with a low-ball offer. Be fair. Rule 3c: You can talk with the guy a bit (unless he has a dozen other guys around). When you find a nice honest guy, you should support him. IMO today, the Greysheet is slanted to higher values that the dealers support. You can find a better deal. It's fun to find a fair deal.[/QUOTE]
