<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2231290, member: 36230"]First, if you were in business, would YOU buy something you didn't think you could turn for a profit? Of course not, so why should a coin dealer be any different? It's easy to point to eBay and assume there's a market for most anything, but the reality is that not all dealers, and for many different reasons, use it as a sales venue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, did you give this person any indication of your price expectations? Perhaps you didn't - I don't know - but it's common for people to expect unrealistic prices for their wares, often pointing to eBay as their justification, and while failing to take into account fees and reasonable profit margins when doing so. It's also fairly common to point to a "market" when not wishing to buy and wanting an easier out than simply saying so. There can be near countless different and valid reasons for a shop/dealer not wanting to buy certain material, and this is just a simple reality of the business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
