<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1490224, member: 36230"]Maybe this would make more sense if you told us what your reason for buying (resale, personal collectible, etc) is. Do you focus only on the listed value, or do you consider market trends/conditions when making purchases? What types do you buy? All are serious questions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, how does it help a newbie by telling them you only pay bluebook? While its human nature to want the lowest price, what do you suppose will happen if he walks into a B&M or show expecting to buy at BB values, especially if his interests are in better material? The fact is that in most all cases, bluebook prices are wholly unrealistic for the average collector, with the possible exceptions being widgets, junk and/or total dreck. Giving someone the impression that they can (regularly) buy coins at this level does nothing more than set them up for an unfortunate reality check.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
