<p>[QUOTE="carpman98, post: 3141537, member: 80118"]If you live in an area where there are numerous coin shops, or alternatively the area hosts a larger coin show, then pick out 15-20 items which you believe are of better value and ask at least 3-4 sellers what their best offer is. And do not disclose any previous offers to the current appraiser. Just simply say that you are looking for the best offer. Once you have established the one or two 'best offers' then you could present the rest of what you wish to sell to those sellers either at the show, in their store later, or at your home. Once a seller knows that you will be offering it to others as well, then he is likely to give you the best offer that he can. </p><p> On the other hand, if you are simply looking for an overall appraisal, be up front with the dealer, because his time to do that is not free. If you want an appraisal only, the cost should be in the $50 per hour range. Should you then decide to sell once the appraisal has been done. an honest dealer would waive the appraisal cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
