[QUOTE="NPCoin, post: 406688, member: 5629"]That is "potential" new owner. If the grade does not satisfy the potential buyer, and you stand by your grade, and you know what you want to get for the coin you are selling, then obviously, you will be seeking a different potential buyer. Price lists mean nothing to a collector, if you really think about it. The price lists are there as tools for dealers to gauge the market and see the approximations of market analysts. Speculators use it as a tool to determine the potentials of their buys, and investors use the lists as tools to determine when to dump a long term hold, or when to jump into a certain niche. A collector is the only one who has the time and leniency to be able to gauge his own desires completely, and thus come to a conclusion of what they truly want for a coin. More often than not, a collector sells his/her coins simply because they are upgrading, or changing focus. Sometimes for financial reasons, but not as often, in my opinion. Usually, a collector is ready to hold on to his/her coins for a lifetime, with no expectation of parting with them, nor with any real concern of value. When thoughts of posterity come up, a collector may be concerned with how much the collection is valued at in its entirety, because the individuals whom the collection may be left to may not understand their worth, and the collector may want to make sure that their posterity is well taken care of. Anyway, I just realized that this is a CaC thread anyway, so I'll shut up now.[/QUOTE]
