[QUOTE="jgreenhood, post: 930441, member: 17030"]Hmm I can't edit my post? So sorry for double posting but had to share this cause I thought it was funny. So a customer emailed me the other day and said our shop has ridiculous prices and that we were 250% mark up from retail. (No that's not the funny part) He gave me a link to what he feels current retail prices for US coins should be. Here is a link to the [URL="http://sammler.com/coins/wheat_pennies.htm"]site[/URL]. First off the site has a disclaimer. It's in German but they basically say they are not liable for the information they posted. (Yay I thought that was funny.) Here is one example of what I found funny. We all know that the 1909 S VDB is a key. So here is a break down. (Grey sheet = dealer price and Red book = suggested retail) Grey sheet price for 1909 S VDB in Good (G04): $650.00 Red Book 2010 1909 S VDB in Good (G04): $750.00 Sampler.com's 1909 S VDB in Very Fine (VF20): $500 To bad they are not a dealer. :( I'd buy them all day at that price.)[/QUOTE]
