Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 7629373, member: 105098"]agree with eddiespin, IF you bought them and sold them, a dealer would give you around $100 today for them, therefore, you should offer lower than that and tell him you don't want to sit on them and just cash it in for melt if you did take them, so it's the best you can do because you need to make a couple bucks also or it's not worth your effort to do it. either they will take it or they will go to a dealer themselves, but you aren't working for free or at a loss. It's easily understandable for most people to grasp this concept and make their decision whether to sell to you for $80 or $90, or take it to a dealer for $100-$110. If he wants to be a bullion dealer, he's going to the wrong guy. APMEX sells a BU 1964 kennedy half for $24.99, he's asking $18.00 thinking it's a good deal, it's not a good deal at either price as both are retail one with a high premium on it, they are worth about $10 each melt at the moment ungraded. and that $10 each today could change either way tomorrow or next week. I'm not saying pass, just lay it out there and see if he will want to sell it to you, any opportunity shouldn't be passed on, you just need to know how to handle it is all in order to not lose on it and if he's not agreeable to your offer and why, then pass on it. worst case, he decides he makes an extra $10 or $20 taking it to a dealer himself. Nobody is gonna give him BU prices for it raw.[/QUOTE]
