<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2892486, member: 34882"]Welcome to the real world experience of selling common date gold coins. I know sometimes people state how easy it is, etc but I have a feeling many of the people saying that stuff have never sold a coin. Your experience is fairly typical imo for a coin show experience. In fact it's fairly typical for a coin shop experience as well. Many people over value their coins using inflated price guide values or use the most extreme retail value they can find as their point of value not including dealers margins, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Every time a subject like this comes up I give the same advice given to me early on. Which is don't just buy coins, but sell some coins once in awhile too. I think many people in this hobby might be shell shocked if they attempted to sell their collection when they'd find out what their collection may be worth. But taking that shellacking from time to time makes one a better buyer and buying at the right price is how one makes any money, which is what dealers do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
