<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 924718, member: 18157&quot;]Yep! &quot;Yoopers&quot; are from the U.P. (Upper Penisula) and &quot;Trolls&quot; is the affectionate term Yoopers use to refer to those Michiganders who live &quot;below the bridge&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have a lotta relative in Michigan. They have summer property in the Gaylord area...which is about an hour south of the bridge (as I recall).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway...you&#039;re right, an unacceptably large number of Dealers will rob you blind if they think they can get away with it (imo)...of course that&#039;s different than an honest dealer offering a fair <b>wholesale</b> price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You may want to attend some coin shows. Large shows (like the one in <b>Baltimore</b> this week) is a good place to meet a variety of dealers in a competitive environment. You may find one you hit it off with. Worst case scenario, you get a more diverse picture of the market.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since you follow CT, you should already have a pretty good idea what your holdings are worth. You might want to give eBay a try. I hear the fees can be somewhat steep, but likely less than an honest Dealer might charge.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The third option...which is probably what you&#039;re getting at...would be to post an ad in the Open section of CT. You may find a buyer at the price you want and cut out the &quot;middleman&quot; altogether.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, you can buy <a href="http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/2currencysheetsbeptestsheet.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/2currencysheetsbeptestsheet.aspx" rel="nofollow">uncut sheets</a> of $2 bills directly from the BEP. They also have a <a href="http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/20102singlenotecollection.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneyfactorystore.gov/20102singlenotecollection.aspx" rel="nofollow">&quot;single note&quot; program</a> where you can get notes from each of ten (10) Federal Reserve Districts (excluding Minneapolis and Kansas City).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
