[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 2931254, member: 31533"]. Part of what I am saying is that dealers are more invested in getting a profit from a coin and not devaluing things that are already seen as valuable than to lower prices because they don't seem to be selling at the price they are asking. There are certain stores that are known to take merchandise in great condition and ruin it with all sort of unremovable substances and throw it in the trash can rather than sell it below a certain point they are asking, or even to donate it... possibly for a few reasons... You donate good clothes to a charity where the clothes get sold cheaply and worn, and that encourages shoppers to pass some items by until they could get it much cheaper, thereby taking away part of your customers and losing business. Trashed merchandise has a higher markoff value to the company than donated things. This encourages employees to not steal the items marked for disposal because the good still have value that can be used as a price point in pressing charges. --- that is not coins.. slabbed coins aren't clothes or something at a store. A dealer usually is more willing just to hold on to most items until their price is met, and things in stock could be there for a long time if it is not moving.[/QUOTE]
