[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3718917, member: 101855"]Sounds like he's a modern P.T. Barnum. You run into to dealers like this who charge way more than anybody else and way more than the catalog listings or auction results. Somehow they stay in business, but it's always been a mystery to me. I didn’t even try that when I was a dealer. Now that I have gotten into hammered British coins and ancients, you run into more of these guys. They tell you the catalog is wrong as they try to charge you two, three or even four times as much as the listings. I wonder if "the catagog is wrong" when they are buying? If it's worth four times the catalog, then it must be worth two and three times cataglog when they are buying ... right? :greedy:[/QUOTE]
