<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2564491, member: 80121&quot;]I just went to a coin show this last weekend, and the trend seemed to be that the dealer would look up the graded coin and charge somewhere between Bid and Ask, and ignore the old adage, &quot;buy the coin. not the slab&quot;. I was able to pick up a few PQ coins because of this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Talking to some of the dealers, dealer to dealer was doing well, but retail was down, that&#039;s why they are going Ask-. On the other hand some may be overpricing their slabs to give the illusion of giving the buyer a good buy. I bought a VAM marked $150 for $100 and when I got home I checked the price and it came out to be $110.</p><p><br /></p><p>Talk about extremes, one dealer friend said he did $80,000 (not a misprint) dealer to dealer, but only $5,000 retail. He still considered it a good show, he was able to get a few coins he needed for clients back home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
