<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1806155, member: 26302&quot;]Good information. </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, there are two different scenarios. If you have an exact coin you want, try to give him as much information as possible. Such as minimum grade, price range you would like to spend, any special quality concerns, etc. If he goes out and buys a coin for you within these parameters, I think you should buy it from him. If you told him you do not want a white coin, though, and its white, or some other detail about it that the coin does not fit, then you are under no obligation at all of course. This is only for very SPECIFIC wants that you have gone out of your way to ask him to locate for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other scenario is more generic. I have a local dealer who knows I collect ancients. So he makes sure whatever ancients he may come across he shows me. I feel absolutely no obligation to buy anything, since I did not ask him to acquire these specifically for me, they are simply coins that may fit into my collection and its in the dealers best interest to show them to me. By me buying them, if I do, the dealer is more likely to get a higher price than if he has to wholesale these out to an ancient dealer. So it works both ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers are an underappreciated resource in this hobby. A good dealer can easily allow your collection to grow the way you want it, since he physically has access to more coins than you ever will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
