<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 3690846, member: 56370"]I very seldom buy coins in person at shows or at LCS’s, because I have come to realize that the markups are almost always significantly higher that what I could get the same coin for online. Since my collecting interests aren’t very specialized, I am able to find good material online at low markups. I have occasionally paid up for coins at shows with a bit more eye appeal along the lines of what [USER=20480]@ToughCOINS[/USER] is describing. That is the value proposition of paying a dealer’s markup. If it’s something hard to find, the dealer can name their price and a person who wants it has the choice of either paying the asking price or not ever owning a similar item. From my limited observation at shows, it appears that dealers offering that type of material are the most successful. However, if I want a circulated Indian cent or a common date MS64 Morgan, I’m better off finding one online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
