<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1394717, member: 15445"]If you want to maximize your profit, <u>do not </u>just sell it to the first guy that gives you a price. IMO you should inventory the coin sets and take them to a coin show where several dealers can look at them & quote you prices. You should know a price that you want for them & if someone quotes it (or near it) then you could sell on the spot. I did this with one of my son's friend's dad & he got $4,900 instead of the $3,000 he had originally been offered. They are your coins so you can do whatever you want. I just hate to see you leave a bunch of money on the table.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, keep all the COA's with each set. The dealers will want the sets complete with the COA or they will pay less.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a price sheet called "The Coin Dealer Newsletter" or "greysheet". You can purchase a sample set of the price sheets for something like $20. These are the prices that dealers are known to use. The price sheets fluctuate weekly. You could price each coin set from the current price sheet & expect a dealer to pay you something like 10% below the bid price for the entire lot. This homework & this price list could save you a lot of money when selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
