<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 11616, member: 487&quot;]Great question. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of dealers you will find will not place prices on the coins. This way, they can quote the most up to date price available. Bullion is always this way. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now on the other hand, if a price is marked, it should be sold at that price regardless of market price at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of time, dealers do not have inventory sitting on the shelves. It is hard to run a business that way. Now that doesn&#039;t mean that we don&#039;t have some, but the majority is turned over quickly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Before going to a show, the inventory will be looked over to make sure current prices are on. Any adjustments made. </p><p><br /></p><p>Having said this, you have to take into consideration the costs associated with updating prices. For my firm, it costs us 50 cents to put a coin in a holder. That is factoring in the time of the employee. So is it worth the time to re-package many coins. NO. </p><p><br /></p><p>If the dealer has bought the coin at the right money, the profit will still be there. Sure they may make a few extra dollars, but it is always better to move merchandise than make a couple of extra dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
