<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3971524, member: 56370&quot;]Recently I sold a Mexico 20 peso gold piece.&nbsp; Being this is a commodity bullion item I thought that the buying price would be the same anywhere.&nbsp; I couldn’t have been more wrong.&nbsp; First I tried a couple of shops in downtown Boston while my kids were skating at the Common.&nbsp; The first offered me about 10 percent below melt which I thought was shockingly low.&nbsp; Then the guy at the second shop started with “how much are you expecting to get for it” and then offered a price that was over 100 bucks (!!!) below melt on a half ounce coin.&nbsp; Later I called another shop and got just as low of an offer.&nbsp; To get what I was expecting I ended up having to mail it to a precious metals dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I shouldn’t be surprised or upset considering that renting a store in Boston isn’t cheap and these guys need to make a living somehow.&nbsp; Even with the markups they are charging it’s amazing that they can stay in business when comparing with markups in other brick and mortar stores like jewelry, clothing etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
