[QUOTE="clembo, post: 653070, member: 8033"]Without reading every post I'm going to go with Speedy on this one. It was obviously way lower than you wanted but really not horrible. The guy could be a dealer or reseller. I doubt he's a newbie. Now his line about what they go for on ebay wasn't the brightest IMHO If you walked into the shop I work at with that coin $225 might be the highest my boss would go. He'd want to make money on that coin and a modest profit of $30 wouldn't cover much overhead. All in how you look at it and not worth worrying about. Now, I DID have a guy seriously lowball me a few months ago and my reply was not real sweet I must admit. He offered me $2 each for some Standing Liberties that I had listed and offered to pay that whopping amount for any that I had. Now my first reaction is that I work in a shop and know what they go for wholesale plus I have been at this for a few years now. I told him I was born at night but not last night and to please not insult me with offers. I would entertain serious offers. I also told him if he wanted those prices to open a brick and mortar. Guess I was feeling kind of ornery. I could have just said no. :)[/QUOTE]
