<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1322510, member: 307&quot;]JCB,</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I do at a show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I ask the dealer for a price on a coin that I like. I wait for him to quote the price and <b>then</b> I look up whatever price guide I use. I decide if the price is close to what I am willing to pay or not and sometimes make a counter-offer based on his price quote.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the dealer accepts the price, we are both happy and I haven&#039;t offended him. You can use whatever list or book that you like to find fair prices, but coin dealers may have more or less money than wholesale in a coin, and they don&#039;t always sell at the prices listed. If they got a particularly good deal, they may pass some of the good fortune on to me, if they had to pay more than wholesale, the greysheet price may not be viable for the dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, to sum it up, ask the dealer for a price, evaluate it, and make your decision. Don&#039;t try to figure out what the dealer should want. That&#039;s where most sellers become offended by would be buyers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
