[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1709655, member: 75105"]I've known through friends some older people who collected through littleton for 20-30 years, then when they went to sell their collection, they were shocked to find the coins they paid $10-$100 each for retail in the red book for 1/2 to 1/8 of the price they paid. They prey on the old and the uneducated. I know some forum members here constantly preach the "caveat emptor" BS about these companies, but my opinion is...anyone who takes advantage of people selling coins way higher over their retail value should be hanged, drawn and quartered. People often argue, "but it brings people to the hobby". Ya, it might, but you can still sell at a fair price and make money.
