<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 320110, member: 3726"]One of the reasons I like the dealer I use is that I have watched how he works. It does not matter what slab the coin is in - they look at the coin before making an offer. They quote bid prices for the coins - I have asked a couple of times what they would give for various graded coins for others. They always pull out grey sheets - they even showed me when I asked about the 4 coin smithsonian set. I know at times I could beat their prices if I spent enough time on ebay, but I do not mind paying them the extra because I know what I am getting. The shop does get crowded and I do not mind waiting - they will answer any question I have. They do not try justifing the prices and personally I do not try argue them down. I know in some cases I probably could, but on occasions they do give me a 1 to 10% discount. I like them and they are fun to chat with. I know I will never know as much as they do and I do not mind them making money off me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
