<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1618550, member: 26302&quot;]True, this is why I do not envy those who put together any price guide. Anything they say is &quot;wrong&quot;. Like it or not we are in collectibles, the price is what a buyer and seller agree to. Nothing more or less. If two buyers get into a competition they can &quot;overpay&quot;, or if a seller is unlucky or misidentifies their product they can lose big time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Price guides are simply generalities to get you &quot;into the ballpark&quot; MOST of the time ASSUMING knowledgable buyers and sellers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would I LOVE to have a firm guide to know what to pay? You darn tootin, so would everyone else, but they do not, can not exist. Everyone WANTS one, that is why so many are printed/published, but in the end of the day they physically cannot exist due to:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Every coin is unique</p><p>2. Every seller sells to different client bases, and provide different levels of service</p><p>3. Every buyer uys at differeing venues</p><p>4. Every sale is different, different circumstances, different needs of the buyer and seller, different skill levels of each, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>As soon as you know this, but know that with research and your own personal KNOWLEDGE you can be a much more informed consumer and get better deals than others with effort, the better any collector will be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
