<p>[QUOTE="heavycam.monstervam, post: 2110697, member: 73448"]I would say in general people go for anything silver.Most people 'round here enjoy stacking it...There are a few guys who buy anything slabbed they can put on ebay and make a $.. Those will normally spend the most, and you have a few of the old school guys who come and look for bargains. These are the ones who know how to haggle and are the ones looking for a $500 coin for $5..(Can you really blame them?) I guess it is a good mixture of casual collectors AND hardcore guys who are out there with a flashlight @ 6am looking for steals not just in coins but for antiques,collectibles and tools.,.I would say that slabbed silver type stuff goes 1st followed by raw morgans and bullion. Thats what I sell mainly.A good strategy has been to sell stuff w eye appeal that i dont mind keeping if noone buys.That way i dont feel pressure to sell if noone scoops it up right away.It cost $7 a table here and i enjoy doing it, making a profit is just the icing on the cake.Oh and btw the guy next to me sold an 1806 vf25 bust quarter for $1650.. Claimed to have made $50 on it..Thats the most expensive coin ive witnessed being sold there thus far[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
