<p>[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 1485765, member: 10469"]50% to 40% below Red Book is about what I expect from a dealer for a set that he has not examined. If he takes the time to examine it, and it has a lot more value because of higher grades on the more key dates, then you haggle hard, MAYBE you could get 25% but more likely 30% below. This is what he needs to do the paper work, and hold the inventory until it sells (along with the money that is then tied up). Not to mention he pays rent and the light bill, insurance, risk of theft, +, +, + and probably has employees. Oh yea, and his time and maybe he could make a living?</p><p>We would all like to sell at over red book and buy at half, instead of the other way around, but it is only fair and reasonable that dealers buy and sell at the prices they do.</p><p>and don't keep using ebay. Try Webstore... no fees!!!!! <a href="http://www.webstore.com/index.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.webstore.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.webstore.com/index.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
