Message:: [QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2298003, member: 36230"]The bluebook is a terrible "guide" all too often used by lowlifes, and sometimes so-called "dealers", in conjunction with improper "grading", to take advantage of the ignorant. Do you know where the "values" within come from? If not, look it up... this should tell you a lot. With such a generic and ill-informed statements, apparently you're the one who lacks the understanding, sir. Did you bother to actually read what I wrote? Were it only so easy as blue for wholesale, and red retail, with zero other factors to consider. Perhaps I'm wrong, but to me this suggests you're likely fairly/reasonably new, and should rethink giving questionable advice to others who may or may not be new to the hobby. Those who take up this hobby and focus on the deal as opposed to quality or learning, are ripe for abuse, and often end up buried in dogs. Your argument is, with all due respect, both false and very poor; you're comparing apples to oranges. Do you not see the problem with speaking as a collector while  recommending a so-called "dealer" book? Is there a "dealer book" for Walmart and K-Mart shoppers? How many dealers do you know, real or wannabe, who across-the-board sell anything other than perhaps the dreck of dreck or widgets at the bluebook values? How many dealers have you approached, interested in quality collectible level material, and insisted that you're going to pay bluebook, and how well did it honestly work out for you? This is essentially what you've recommended to the OP, and is a recipe for failure on many levels. It's NOT about paying more, sir, but about KNOWING YOUR MARKET.[/QUOTE]
