[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2106883, member: 73165"]All very true, hence why it's somewhat lucky that this works better with PNG members (who are business people that actually sell coins for a living and subscribe to a code of ethics) than Joe Random selling off his HSN-acquired presidential dollars. :-) What you said you did isn't what I suggested at all. You used the "Make Offer" facility of eBay. They still take their cut if you settle a transaction that way. What I'm talking about is literally just buying the coin independently of eBay -- no negotiation needed. I see a lot of coins listed for a BIN price of X on eBay and listed for 0.9X off of eBay, on the web sites of professional and reputable dealers, where 0.9X - 1.0X would be a perfectly acceptable market range. But, I'd rather pay 0.9X if I can, and if I can do it without negotiating, all the better! :)[/QUOTE]
