<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2936872, member: 10461&quot;]For the record, I fault neither the dealer for making such a lowball offer, nor [USER=28531]@H8_modern[/USER] for finding that offer insulting.&nbsp; Each had their own prerogatives, and I see both sides here.&nbsp; Sometimes in situations like this, particularly on the outer, more esoteric edges of what a dealer in the US market is likely to handle, it is not unusual for two parties to be on such widely divergent tracks.&nbsp; That&#039;s just the way it is.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I</b> am buying the Nurnberg klippe in the OP from [USER=28531]@H8_modern[/USER].&nbsp; For about five times what that dealer offered him for both of the OP coins.&nbsp; Furthermore, I have agreed to add some kind of bonus on the tail end if that klippe happens to come back from PCGS in a Mint State grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;m happy to get it for that price.&nbsp; I have long loved that type.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you see, sometimes one just has to hold out for the right buyer.&nbsp; And sometimes (usually, in fact), it is better to sell to a collector than a dealer.&nbsp; This is no doubt how and why the internet and eBay democratized the marketplace.&nbsp; One no longer has to accept the lowball dealer offer, since there are always other options.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
