<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 819350, member: 66"]What I have done in similar situations is to offer to examine the coins and tell them what an honest dealer would most likely give for them, but I would not buy any of them until AFTER they had offered them to a dealer and he had failed to meet my valuation. That way they know that I'm not lowballing them to try and rip them off. (I've worked as a dealer and at least at the time I had a fair idea what an honest dealer would pay for them.) I would then place values a little below what I thought the dealer would pay. That way the dealer would possibly offer a little more (and what person wouldn't like being offered more than they expected) but still make a reasonable profit, and if they didn't I could still buy at a fair price, and the owner of the coins would get a fair price. If there was something I really wanted for myself I just list it at a little more than what I believe the dealer would pay. If they take it to a rip off dealer then he won't meet my values, I can still buy them at my prices. The owner doesn't get ripped off because my prices are fair and leave me room for a slight profit. Only person who can lose out is the rip off dealer because he gets nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
