<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 391853, member: 6370&quot;]<span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">the mistake most people make is trying to sell to a seller...they need to sell to the end user. A coin sellers job is to make money off coins, thus they buy low sell high. A coin seller will almost ALWAYS low ball. It doesnt matter what coin you bring in they will have some reason why they can only give you so much for it and it will always be disappointing. The end user will be more willing to pay a reasonable price for a coin as it is something they want and not simply something they are looking to flip.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Certainly some collectors will come in with something they think is worth a lot and it truly isnt worth what they thought...but in the end...dealers low ball..plain and simple and they will always have a litany of reasons why they wont pay more than 10-15% of the price.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">I have seen it here, people low balling worth before they even see the coins, just from a list...they are already coming up with reasons like...&#039;well, you say they are this grade but they probably arent so I will assume they are lower grade&#039; before quoting only a fraction of the lots worth. People here were lowballing to about 15% of a coin lots book value at the grades stated on a hypothetical question <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</font></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">If you arent willing to sell your own coins to collectors directly...expect to be gouged.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
