<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 653798, member: 19423&quot;]Wow, quite the long thread here T$... but when I list coins on a BST Forum I almost always get a few offers that I consider lowball based on going retail prices (or even the going wholesale prices).&nbsp; Usually they are from dealers looking to make a few bucks.&nbsp; Usually I just say no and give them my best price.&nbsp; But sometimes I&#039;ll take the deal if I was in the coin very cheap and just wanted to sell quickly.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For the quarter eagles you have, I do think $200 is too low.&nbsp; At a large show like the upcoming ANA I&#039;d almost guarantee that you&#039;d be able to find at least one dealer there (and probably more than that) that would pay you full greysheet bid ($245) for the PCGS slabbed AU coin since they would then mark it up 10-25% or so from there to retail prices in the $275-$300 range.&nbsp; I think your starting price of $285 wasn&#039;t unreasonable as if it&#039;s a PQ example in a PCGS holder, a retail buyer looking for that particular coin would probably be happy to pay your price (or close to it).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If they were my coins and I thought they were strong examples in PCGS holders, I wouldn&#039;t sell for less than greysheet bid unless I really had to.&nbsp; And before doing that, I&#039;d list them on eBay first at a starting price of greysheet bid + the selling fees.&nbsp; Done that several times with much success and typically the coins will sell for more than I expected even after fees since a lot more folks see the coin that on these BST forums.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Forgot who said it earlier in the thread, but if you&#039;re dealer only pays you bluesheet for your slabbed coins I&#039;d probably shop around for a new person to sell to... bluesheet prices are based on sight-unseen coins and are sometimes much lower than wholesale prices for sight-seen coins (greysheet) and are surely much less than the going retail prices for a decent looking coin.&nbsp; Would love to buy nice looking coins at the Bluesheet prices!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
