He may say his absolute lowest is $65, but the closer to $100 the better. Even if the coin sold for his lowest amount of $65, he would still walk away with more money than the dealer offered him to begin with. The club would generate $6.50 for hosting the table and everyone would win (except the dealer who lost both the buying opportunity AND the potential profitable sale). </p><p><br /></p><p>There is no way that dealer could feasibly buy the coin at $55 and sell it for $65 and it realistically leave a profit after travel expenses, show costs, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that there are very few losing scenarios for the club and members by hosting a table or acting as a consigning agent to donate a portion of the proceeds to the club.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
