<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 929281, member: 9270&quot;]Too many variables to make a definitive statement.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- Dollar value of total purchase. Percentage would be different for $1000 cat value of Wheaties vs. $1000 cat value of Morgans vs. $1000 cat value of ASE&#039;s.</p><p>- Dollar value of individual items. The greater the value the lower the percentage.</p><p>- How fast can the dealer flip the item(s). The faster the turnaround the lower the percentage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dealers have to put numbers on:</p><p>- the cost of doing business (selling)</p><p>- the cost of living</p><p>Look at their inventory to determine expected profit.</p><p>Look at potential purchases in light of the above.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Selling one MS-65 1893-S Morgan for a 5% profit can keep you going for quite a while.</p><p>Selling one common date Wheatie for a 200% profit isn&#039;t going help much.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A dealer with $10,000 in inventory needs a higher profit margin than one with $100,000 in inventory.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And I bet there&#039;s whole bunches of factors that I didn&#039;t mention or am even aware of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
