<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 4124, member: 487"]Usually dealers do not like trades for other merchandise. (Usually). The reason being, is that most collectors are searching for the same things. If a trade of Prestige set is taken for say a CC Morgan, than the dealer loses. Not necessarily in terms of profit, but in the time it takes to sell the coins. It is easier in the long run to purchase the coins outright. I realize that in the end, it all evens out, but sometimes we (dealers) are not always thinking of the end results. Proofs are selling very well on places such as Ebay, and that is what I would suggest. We have a few ebay dealers that buy the majority of our proof sets for just this purpose. Now if you have the opportunity to visit a show, I would pack all of my extras and sell/trade on the bourse floor. Go early in the show and you should do well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
