[QUOTE="Dollar1948, post: 879657, member: 17239"]I guess its safe to say, its hard to have any empathy, sympathy, or respect right out of the gate for any dealer. The problem with this hobby is, its the dealers that report and in essence drive the market value of coins, they just seem to have way too much control of the whole market. If thats not enough, some will try to take advantage of the unsuspecting because not only are they know they are in the drivers seat, but they can sence the vulernable seller. With all that control its no wonder there is so many uneducated and fearful sellers. They can go ahead and buy the red book and do their due dilegence, only to have a dealer say..no no.,..we use the grey sheet. For some reason, 'used car saleman' comes to mind.:rolleyes: This is the reason why I'm capped and with not be expanding my collection within other areas of decimal coin collecting. I need some sort of saftey net, that I think I presently have....(after being screwed over numerious times before mind you.).ive learned from my mistakes. Man, i really think we have stirred up a bees nest with this thread[/QUOTE]
