[QUOTE="clembo, post: 880839, member: 8033"]Not real sensible I'm afraid. Seriously think about it. A disgruntled customer slams a dealer because he/she deems the shop's business practices as unethical? Others are influenced by this whether or not the person slamming them knows the first thing about coins. Who defines ethical? With the multitude of avenues open to buy and sell coins why even bother with a dealer? I'll tell you while asking a question. How many coins would you actually have a shot at if there were no dealers? Many dealers are good and many are bad. That's a given but a total novice that looks up a 1932D quarter on the net and sees it listed at $14,000 in MS65 tends to ignore the $162 price for a G4 coin because they have no clue. That same person could sell that coin on ebay and I'd be willing to bet they would get way less than retail. At times less than a dealer would offer if they have a customer for resale of said coin. Slamming or praising dealers is real easy. I try to stay away from that. Knowing your coins and responsabilities as a buyer or seller? It really is up to you.[/QUOTE]
