<p>[QUOTE="jloring, post: 669545, member: 15518"]<font size="2">Buyers at garage sales (and flea markets also) are notoriously cheap... just try and sell a coin for anywhere near retail! I've tried a few times to dump some extras and believe me, it's no easy task. As an experiment, I priced a common $2 bill at one dollar. Not a single taker, though I did have an offer for fifty cents. It's still alot of fun, and putting out some wheats or dateless buffalos can result in some interesting conversation. I did sell a tin can full of common wheats for a couple of bucks... there were about 150 of them, so I had a happy buyer. I wouldn't worry about any perspective burglars unless I was showing off a bunch of gold or some really rare and expensive stuff. And I don't think anyone would be doing that at a garage sale, at least none I've ever seen.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
