<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NorthKorea, post: 1145379, member: 29643&quot;]The issue with this thread is how each side is viewing the other. I tend to favour the dealer in this case. Why? If the dealer hadn&#039;t updated their prices from 1987 through 1994, and you showed up at a coin show, you would tell the dealer that their prices are a bit askew. The result: Dealer would give you a huge price break to account for the drop in bullion prices. The customer would EXPECT this. A similar thing would have happened if the dealer priced for 27x face, and spot pulled back to $30. The buyer would remind the dealer that 27x face was near $37/oz and prices are ~20% below that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see how this is so different for a dealer adjusting prices to sell at spot on items worth more than spot. (After all, they&#039;re in the album, so the assumption is that they&#039;re VF+ condition and not beaters.) If you don&#039;t agree with the price, you walk away. By complaining to the promoter / show-manager, you&#039;ll likely be asked to leave the show. Why? Because it&#039;s likely that 80% or more of the dealers haven&#039;t updated their prices since silver was at $25 / ozt. (I didn&#039;t pull $25 out of my head. It was based upon when I assume the Red Book prices were finalized: Sept-Nov 2010.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
