<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 1942035, member: 4580&quot;]Rick knows far less about coins than some dealers, yet he usually pays every bit as much for a nice coin as a dealer would pay.&nbsp; Most dealers offer 1/3 to 1/2 of the value of a coin.&nbsp; The Blue Book is consistently around 50% of Red Book values, historically.</p><p><br /></p><p>I especially enjoy when Rick points out that an item is worth much more than the customer suspected or asked for initially.&nbsp; I recall seeing one man (who was in a hurry to leave town) tell Rick he had paid 75¢ for a jeweled Polish/Russian medal at a garage or yard sale.&nbsp; Rick consulted an expert, then paid the man about $6,500 for the item. Rick later sold the item to the same expert for $30K. The expert had a buyer lined up who was willing to pay even more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
