[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 142391, member: 705"]Alright guys----like always I have a question. :whistle: I have tried and tried to come to a good point in this question but can’t find it…..I want everyone’s thoughts but more than anything the newer and younger collectors because I think when you are just starting out this question is one you think about.... I think I have a chance to buy some coins maybe up to collections….my copy of the Gray Sheet is on its way….and I’m trying to come up with a good way to price it…most dealers sell coins at BID or a little higher…. How do you think is the best way--- Look at the coin/s without looking at the price guide and make an offer that you think would be best? Offer BID on the coin/s and hope I can sell at a little over bid? Offer 20% back of bid and sell at BID? Take a 2005 Red Book and offer the prices in it :D :D !? NOW—on “junk silver”---- Spot price? 10% back of spot? or just about 5 times face value? I’ve only done something like this once before and the guy sold but he wasn’t too happy with the price I offered…I don’t want that to happen again if I can. Thanks ya’ll---I think I’ve got a pretty good chance to get some good coins and hope everything works out—if it does I’ll try to post photos… Speedy[/QUOTE]
