Let me know about that overpaying concept again. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-on-slabs-at-coin-shows.251576/page-7#post-1982216" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-on-slabs-at-coin-shows.251576/page-7#post-1982216">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/prices-on-slabs-at-coin-shows.251576/page-7#post-1982216</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This describes me exactly. While I try to take a day off to go to a show I don&#039;t want to waste my time talking to a dealer when we are so far apart on pricing. And because there is no standardized method of pricing toned coins and even with white coins some people are so far over bid I have no interest in buying or even discussing anything. I&#039;ll stop and admire what they have and move on. </p><p><br /></p><p>The msg board has seen a lot of my coins. Only two came from a show. I overpaid on a few coinfacts coin but on many other I got good online rates I.g. I went to the pcgs only show a dealer was selling pcgs proof walkers. He wanted double gray bid because they had none of the haze I see so often on these coins. I honestly thought the guy had a good point and left. I bought a pcgs 64 walker proof on ebay two weeks later and paid $10 over gray bid. </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/image-jpg.353475/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Offered $20 less then I paid for this one, by one of the dealers here.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/image-jpg.353477/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Offered $200 less then purchase by a dealer at a vegas show</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/image-jpg.353478/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few examples to make my point. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is not that I am an awesome coin professional. My point is that I am not. </p><p><br /></p><p>If someone with as little experience can purchase coins like this at the prices noted above it tells you one thing. Between tpg, internet, information(I use grey, coinfacts, ebay completed, and heritage) and a return policy that really that is all you need to succeed. Yes you need to be able to look at a coin and decide if it would work well with the grade but what the examples show is how seriously little experience is needed, and how far you can cut the middleman&#039;s piece of the pie.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
