<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 641664, member: 15110&quot;]I am getting in this late sitting here on a Sat smoking my cigar (I had to take off me NWO gas mask though for some fresh cigar air- thanks eddiespin for the mask!). Well my very humble opinions are that pricing for a dealer is their choice. If they want to sell at a high premium and even one person buys than that becomes the price on that transaction. If Charmy is asking too much on her coins she won&#039;t sell them (if they are unreasonably priced). This is capitalism vs communist fixed pricing (we&#039;ll get their soon at this rate however). Price guides are a guide. I wouldn&#039;t buy MPL because they are too expensive. I do think Chamy&#039;s coins are in the upper % of the coins out there as well as Rick and I don&#039;t know Brian but apparently he has very nice coppers. I have sat at Charmy&#039;s table many hours on a couple occassions and her coins are over the top on eye appeal. I paid more than say Numismedia retail prices but these coins are some of the most attractive I own. Probably the real issue for dealers is the margins. What did they pay and what will they sell for. Question for Charmy. On your 1916 MPL that has such eye appeal for like 9 K: what if you didn&#039;t sell it for a year? How much would you lower the price? If it is way overpriced you might sit on it a long time. How long will a dealer sit on a coin till the lower the price? I noticed my dealer will wait a long time and then barely lower the price. I think he marks up most coins like 20% + but that is not the profit margin. He leases a shop and has expenses. I sold him a coin for 45$ and he put on the bid board for $55. I watched that coin sit there for 4-5 months. I am not even sure he sold yet. He was doing me a favor as far as I could see.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
