<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 143010, member: 3011&quot;]5-6 times face isn&#039;t a &quot;fair&quot; price, it&#039;s a crooked dealer offer hoping that the seller has no alternative.&nbsp; I have no doubt that this sort of treatment is common, which is one of the problems with the hobby.&nbsp; Every new face that walks through the door is viewed as a sheep to be shorn rather than as a potential long term client.&nbsp; God bless Ebay for giving at least some folks a way to escape this sort of treatment. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also think that asking someone what they want for a collection is pretty unprofessional if the seller is relying on the buyer to help him establish a value, particularly if there is a sense that the seller does not have numismatic expertise, but the buyer obviously does.&nbsp; Again, I have no doubt that this is a common practice, but an honest dealer will tell the seller what they can pay without fishing to find out the lowest acceptable price.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s all a matter of how you wish to run your business and your life.&nbsp; But that&#039;s just me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
