<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pnightingale, post: 1418767, member: 32585&quot;]The price of a coin is dictated only by what a buyer is willing to pay for it. The notion that is has to be sold at a price puiblished as a GUIDE is just as fallacious as the dealer&#039;s assertion that it&#039;s influenced by what he paid for it. Does anyone believe that the dealer who buy an entire collection from a recent widow for a ridiculous low ball price passes on the savings? Of course not and that&#039;s why I don&#039;t need to hear about a dealers problems if he paid too much for a coin..</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin dealers provide a service to collectors and in return they get to keep the profit they make, less anything confiscated by the government. I don&#039;t work for free and don&#039;t expect them to do so either. If they can&#039;t bring new items to the market at a realistic but profitable price they are in the wrong business.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would love to be a coin dealer, it would be my ideal job. However, I&#039;m too lazy, uninformed, opinionated, undisciplined and short tempered so I leave it to those better suited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
