<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 284269, member: 6370"]I wont bump the thread but some person listed a bunch of coins and asked how much people would buy the coins for (he listed the coin and condition) and most people quoted the most ridiculously low balled prices...I then broke down the list and posted that the lot of coins, book price, was 10 - 20 times higher than what people were offering...most had one reason or another why they low balled. This was a hypothetical question in the first place but people said things like 'the grades quoted were probably off' <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ...but in the end...almost every person who posted to that thread here said they would buy the lot for close to a 10th of what it would be worth if everything posted was correct info...thats what most people do...they have no problem taking someone's coins for far far less than they are worth...</p><p> </p><p>Just the other day I posted a medal that I knew nothing about asking for information (not on this forum, people here had no clue what it was)...before offering any info a guy offered to buy it for 400 USD....a tell him I might sell but I just want to know a little more about the medal...so he gives me just a bit of info...with that bit of info I was able to find more info...enough to know that 2 other medals just like it sold for 1500 USD....</p><p> </p><p>I would say that a large amount of people would have no problem trying to get a coin for far less than its worth...I know there are flippers here...and thats the art of the flip right? buy low sell high....only way to buy low is to find a sucker....</p><p> </p><p>Sadly...watch your back...regardless of who it is and where you are...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 284269, member: 6370"]I wont bump the thread but some person listed a bunch of coins and asked how much people would buy the coins for (he listed the coin and condition) and most people quoted the most ridiculously low balled prices...I then broke down the list and posted that the lot of coins, book price, was 10 - 20 times higher than what people were offering...most had one reason or another why they low balled. This was a hypothetical question in the first place but people said things like 'the grades quoted were probably off' :) ...but in the end...almost every person who posted to that thread here said they would buy the lot for close to a 10th of what it would be worth if everything posted was correct info...thats what most people do...they have no problem taking someone's coins for far far less than they are worth... Just the other day I posted a medal that I knew nothing about asking for information (not on this forum, people here had no clue what it was)...before offering any info a guy offered to buy it for 400 USD....a tell him I might sell but I just want to know a little more about the medal...so he gives me just a bit of info...with that bit of info I was able to find more info...enough to know that 2 other medals just like it sold for 1500 USD.... I would say that a large amount of people would have no problem trying to get a coin for far less than its worth...I know there are flippers here...and thats the art of the flip right? buy low sell high....only way to buy low is to find a sucker.... Sadly...watch your back...regardless of who it is and where you are...[/QUOTE]
