<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1418643, member: 26302&quot;]Well my take on it would be:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Without seeing the coin, there is no way we can intelligently speak to whether it was worth more than a pricesheet. Since that is true, there is no way we can comment whether the dealer&#039;s asking price was out of line. It may be it was a superlative example. That is the danger of those who only buy according to price lists, they will only ever have average to below average coins in their collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. If you don&#039;t like the price, move on. If it was a common coin, your research and intelligence just saved you money OP. Pat yourself on your back and find a better deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not think dealers are &quot;entitled&quot; to a profit, they earn it by procuring coins collectors wish to buy, provide a level of guarantee to collectors, and provide time and place utility. I do not begrudge one cent of dealer profit, but they are never &quot;entitled&quot; to it. They must earn it. If they overpay for a coin, they treat that as a business expense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
