[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3818404, member: 73489"]Numerically and logically, that sounds true. [B][COLOR=#4d4dff]But consider this: [/COLOR][/B] the buyers for lower-priced coins often have to stretch for the $$$ to buy those coins. Or they may already have them. Conversely, people who can buy a $15,000 HR Saint -- let alone a pricier one -- either have the $$$ or can get it with the next 1 or 2 paychecks, if not tapping into some financial assets. Or as a friend told me many years ago....[I]it's easier to sell a $40,000 Porsche than a $15,000 Camaro.[/I]:D Now, don't everybody tell me this is wrong...I admit it is probably BOTH right and wrong....it depends on the circumstances. My point is that there are very different demographics for the buyers of 5-figure Saints vs. 3-figure MSDs and often-times the latter don't have the $$$ whereas that's not usually the case with the former. That said....[B][U]eBay, HA, and other online venues have INCREASED the reach and increased liquidity and the ability to market to a larger audience and pool of potential buyers.[/U][/B] Excellent point...you never know, talk to a few dealers and you might find someone who has a ready buyer for a bunch of coins or a complete set like yours and the dealer will give you a price CLOSER to but not equal to the retail price. If he KNOWS he can unload it within days or weeks, he'll pay you more than wholsale. Or should. :D[/QUOTE]
