[QUOTE="clembo, post: 519077, member: 8033"]It is a matter of playing it smart. Sure a lot of the "mom and pop" buyers are feeling the crunch. Hell, I'm one of them. A smart dealer is going to take a smaller percentage profit to keep these folks buying. The bigger buyers are still buying and even if you have to drop the percentage there a few big sales puts money in your pocket. Buy right and sell smart. A dealer that's been around for a while knowss this because they've been through it before. If the key low end grades are not moving and you can afford to sit on them then do so. For those that don't and start selling real cheap I'll be back in the buying game whenever possible. Long term comes into effect both ways after all. FWIW my boss put an NGC VG8 16-D Merc on ebay Saturday with a reserve of $1200. The reserve has already been hit. Still buyers out there folks.[/QUOTE]
