[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 3167407, member: 24544"]Why are you interested in buying this collection? Are you going to try to flip it? Are you going to keep all of it? Are you going to do a little bit of both? Depending on the answer you really should take different approaches. If you are going to keep it all, then pay close to the prices on ebay as that really is what it would cost you to buy it all. Maybe offer him 10% less so you get a deal. If you are buying this to flip it then I would tell him that. Something like, 'I am interested in purchasing the whole collection but I will be reselling most of it. Because I need to make I profit I am going to factor that into the price. I believe your collection, sold on ebay is worth around X,XXX. If you want to take the time to list, ship, and deal with returns then by all means you can do it yourself, but I can offer you half of X,XXX.' Just be straightforward with him, people understand that dealers have to make money, and they make it when they buy coins not when they sell.[/QUOTE]
