<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3824840, member: 101855&quot;]I think that this comment is a bit harsh. I have done trades that made me very happy as a collector. One time I did a trade went three ways. I got an 1802 half cent in exchange for a nice gold piece which went to a dealer who gave coins to the dealer who had the half cent. Everybody was happy, and I ended up with a coin that I could not have otherwise afforded.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think that most dealers are &quot;out to get you.&quot; You need to understand that they are dealing for a living, and that they need to turn a profit to feed their family and stay in business. If you think that you deserve to get &quot;all the money&quot; then become a dealer. It&#039;s not as easy as it looks, and to be successful, you need to be knowledgeable. It’s not just a matter of going to a show, throwing coins in a case and selling. You need to be an expert grader, and you have to learn things about the market that go beyond the price guides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
