<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1981905, member: 66"]For those of us looking in the case and wondering if our idea of the price and the dealers idea are in the same ballpark, having it priced on the back is no different than having no price at all. I started skipping dealers who didn't price their wares after too many times wasting my time (and the dealers) having them dig out the coin only to find that we were not only not in the same ballpark, but not on the same planet. Either they have an over inflated opinion of their coin, or after over 25 years of specializing in a series I don't know what the coins in the series typically go for.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin is priced, and in the same ballpark, then I can have the dealer pull the coin out, look at the back, and we can discuss the coin and negotiate. If we are in the same ballpark, even if his price is higher than my estimate I will often be willing to rise up to meet it. Unpriced, forget it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
