<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1982055, member: 58810&quot;]I never sell to collectors at shows. What I do is buy off eBay and then sell to dealers at the shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>On eBay, any standard non toned non problem coin almost always sell for bid or higher. The one time I bought a normal coin at a real discount (pcgs pr64 cameo at 64 normal bid) the seller &quot;lost&quot; the coin and cancelled the sale. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I used to do was buy toned coins. Since there is no way to create a standard value you can find coins in one of three categories. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. Bad picture. My favorite. You can get to a point where you can see nice toning through bad pictures. Usually a collector because any dealer selling toned coins in line learns really quickly how to photograph. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Underpriced bin. These are out there it just takes time to look. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Winning an auction low. Rarely happens but once in a while it happens. </p><p><br /></p><p>I then take my coins to the vegas shows and make a small percent profit. Please note I would make more money in a few days at work then I would all the coins I have sold over the last 6-8 years. But it is a fun hobby. I like making deals with the coin dealers and just enjoy the challenge of trying to buy &quot;retail&quot; at eBay then make a small profit selling &quot;wholesale&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>I stopped because I very much regret selling a few of the coins I sold. So now I just blew off my remaining coins I bought to sell at shows. No more selling and no more buying coins unless I love them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Amanda bought one of my coins and texted a picture of my s vdb to the penny lady but her offer was $20 under my cost. I&#039;m really glad she did because that coin would be at the front of the regret line from selling. </p><p><br /></p><p>After I blow out my remaining coins I probably over this time come out somewhere around -3 to +5 percent of what I put it. I would track each coin values but was too lazy to actually keep good records.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
