<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGal07, post: 255682, member: 8843&quot;]An acquaintenance knew I was going to a coin show today and asked if I&#039;d see if I could find him the 2001 Buffalo 2 coin set .. but he stresses &quot;I want it around Redbook price, ok..?&#039;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Knowing, or at least, thinking Redbook usually assigns a much higher value to coins than usually traded, I said &#039;oh, you bet&#039; as I glanced at my 2008 Redbook, noted the $610 value listed, and compared it to the greysheet.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I phoned him from the show, thrilled that the dealer was going to sell it to me at greysheet bid for $410, he was ....... astounded. But not in a good way.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>WHAT??? It&#039;s only $310 in Redbook!?!&nbsp; I said, &#039;no, I just checked the RedBook, it&#039;s $610.&nbsp; He argued he was looking at his too and so I asked &#039;gee, what year?...thinking maybe he had the 2002 or something but when he answered &#039;2007&#039; it was My turn to go &#039;What??</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I understand his &#039;point&#039; - after all it&#039;s the year 2007 and he has a 2007 Redbook ... geez.&nbsp; So in order to even be remotely prepared for a coin price you have to go by the guidebook for the future ~~~ not the present.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess I&#039;ll have to show him a greysheet and remind him to read the disclaimer offered by Redbook about values assigned.&nbsp; And if he ever talks to me again, I&#039;ll send him a current redbook for his birthday.&nbsp; Or a future redbook for his current needs. Oh heck,&nbsp; I think I&#039;ll just leave town &amp; change my phone number. I got him a deal and I feel like the bad guy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
