Message:: [QUOTE="tonphil1960, post: 726029, member: 1629"]Paid Mark,  Maybe I did overpay, but if I want it and the dealer has it I buy it. Of course I try to get a better price, but if that's the price, and I want it I buy it. I would never have any coins if I waited for the lowest price there is. I did think I was getting low ball offers now I know different, boy do i know different, this is why I asked the question in the first place, and got some great answers.  Breakdown, yes indeed I see this clearly now, yes I do.  I don't assume the worst in all dealers, I have dealt with some very fair guys, I am sure most dealers such as Mark and Dutchman are very fair, there are always bad ones in anything, not just coins. I guess if I want to continue to collect coins I just have to pay the price like everyone else and hold on to them. I just can't see selling at a loss even if it's to buy something else I might need or want, not worth it. As was said common stuff is even harder to get good buy prices for, that's what I collect cause that's what I like. I do think I will get into key dates too though. As long as I can enjoy collecting as I do I am happy. Thanks everyone for all the input..  Tony[/QUOTE]
