<p>[QUOTE=&quot;marid3, post: 1656157, member: 35968&quot;]I went throught this twice last year.&nbsp; I was personally interested in some of the coins, not most of them.&nbsp; My process went like this:</p><p>&nbsp;- Rough appraisal </p><p>&nbsp;- Then I give info on how to sell (personally, I hate selling)</p><p>&nbsp; - I take time to drive home this point:&nbsp; like anything, you pay more for service (more for a dinner out than grocery store), so if they take on the task of learning about coins and grading, sell each coin individually or small lots on ebay or some other auction, or shop around for other sales options (dealer, coin show, etc), or any other option, AND incur transactions fees (that&#039;s <b>important</b>) they&#039;ll get more than if you just dump them on one person.&nbsp; Plain and simple. Do more work, get more money, or pay, via lower price, someone else. </p><p>&nbsp;- Then I explain that was a very rough estimate, here&#039;s the range (pawn shop to getting lucky with ebay). </p><p>&nbsp;- lastly, if there is a specific coin/coins I&#039;m interested in, I let them know that, and why (to be above reproach), and offer to give them an offer for just those coins.</p><p>&nbsp;- In both instances, they&#039;ve offerd me the coins at the bottom of the range, and I accepted. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is very fair, because you don&#039;t want to take advantage of family, but I know the PM prices are a gamble, and selling requires significant transaction fees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
