I used to be a dealer in Australia and never sold anything at my table over $1.00 at most of the time...I did have good stuff but so did most of the other dealers...As collectors in general are penny pinchers and lousy or mean, the $1 mark or any 12 items for $10.00 suited them.... I used to come home with have an empty SUV every show and i assure you my profit margin was much more thatn the others selling there.. You could count the kids there on 1 hand which is disgusting. This is where our hobby is going to go...MELT MELT MELT is the only way and make into blocks of bullion....As we grow older they are worth less and less as we in our later years of life die off and the kids are not interested...I sold a lot of mine in australia and what i could not sell i took tin snips to and melted the metal..The higher graded items went into auction and let the fools of nowadays waste their money...I simply did not want anyone gaining what i had done over the last 45 years or so... Revalueing items is a waste of time and money as markets have plummetted.... I find the lower valued items sell better than key dates..But you all will choose for yourself...Hope you all dont mind my bluntness.....have a nice day[/QUOTE]
