<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1989433, member: 26302"]I am not really for or against you on this thread Vic, I think you can see that in my previous post. One thing I would say about shows is the dealers tend to mark every coin at the highest they really can, knowing everyone will try to get some off of this. I am not a great bargainer, I do better in auction situations because I know I am not a haggler. But, even I ask and get money off purchases at shows. The one I bought last weekend was marked $45 and I bought for $35. So, I agree if you only look at sticker prices at a show they will seem high, but the price items actually sell are usually less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, many venues to buy from, and different ways to buy. I have bought coins about eevry way you can think of, and the common denominator to a good deal is always knowledge, knowing what you are buying, its desirability, the going rate, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
