<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buddy16cat, post: 1489859, member: 37356&quot;]I tend to think that you can have issues no matter where you buy coins from.&nbsp; I have got fair deals from Ebay but see coins, especially silver coins going for way to much.&nbsp; I read that flea markets and antique shops are good but encountered a dealer at an antique flea market grossly overcharging.&nbsp;&nbsp; I got deals at coin shows but did see a dealer who was a Graysheet Gary who wants to pull out the sheet even when selling junk silver.&nbsp; I got really good deals from a local PM dealer but last time I went I took two coins back because I thought I was overcharged and one coin was a problem coin and was sold the wrong sized airtights.&nbsp; Another dealer though charged higher for everything sold by this PM dealer.&nbsp; I think though from what I encountered dealers fit those categories you talk about, you have Graysheet Gary&#039;s, collectors who know a fair price, and PM dealers.&nbsp; If I was buying silver coins, the PM dealer will give you the best deal but may not have that many quality coins.&nbsp; I got my best deals from a bullion dealer.&nbsp; The collector is always best to deal with when buying because they would have quality coins and know what to charge for them.&nbsp; The Redbook Ron&#039;s or Graysheet Gary&#039;s are the worst.&nbsp; They want the listed price which is often higher than the coins true value.&nbsp; I do think though some coins go for higher at auctions while different coins go for their true value.&nbsp; I would never get the price I got for some coins at the PM shop or at a show from a collector on Ebay on some coins where I know I paid less on Ebay than at a coin show or shop.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have only been buying coins since March so I am concerned about overpaying.&nbsp; I believe I overpaid once on some foreign coins at a flea market but was taking a chance that they were silver kind of like those unsearched rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
