<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 757193, member: 112&quot;]I understand what you are saying Vess, but with coins, there is always somebody willing to take it all. And take it all at a fair price - a coin dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only argument or disagreement is - what constitutes a fair price. In all honesty, most collectors don&#039;t know what a fair price is for their collection. They assume, and usually incorrectly so, that what they paid for it, or close to it, is a fair price. Seldom is this the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>For by the time you weed out the problem coins, and most collections contain more than a few problem coins, what they the owner thinks to be the value is often cut in half. </p><p><br /></p><p>And it&#039;s not really a matter if it&#039;s worth their time or not to try and sell the collection 1 coin at a time. For most of the time, when a collection is sold by the person who assembled that collection, it is done because they HAVE to sell it because they need the money and they need it now. And they simply do not have the time to spend trying to sell it 1 coin at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in reality, even selling the sets as you suggest seldom produces more than if you sold the entire collection to a dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, it cannot just be any old dealer. But there are those out there who do offer fair prices. You just have to look until you find one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
