<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 142808, member: 4552&quot;]As already noted so much depends on if the seller is a coin dealer, coin collector, just a person with a lot of coins, someone that has inherited a coin collection. Then there is the question of do you know the seller, how well you know them, a realative, friend, neighbor, etc. If the seller is someone you don&#039;t really care about, get a copy of the Whitman Blue Book and show them the coin&nbsp; prices in there and make an offer a little higher than the ones listed there. Then again another question is the type of coins, condition of the coins, how many you want, what your plans are with those coins. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Regardless do not take a copy of a grey sheet or Red Bood with you when buying. Prices are to high and the seller will want those prices. The Blue Book is so low the coins will almost be worthless in some cases.</p><p>&nbsp; Not long ago at a flea market I purchased a notebook full of Nickels. There were 228 Buffalo Nickel, many Liberty Head Nickels, a few Jefferson Proofs and all for $180. It took a lot of hagling but since I knew I would never see that person again, the lowest price possible is what I offered. If he was a friend or someone I knew I think my conscience would have gotten to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
