<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1097313, member: 16948&quot;]I get asked &quot;what will you give me for this coin&quot; all the time, and if&nbsp; it&#039;s a coin I am interested in, I ask the seller how much they are&nbsp; asking.&nbsp; If it&#039;s a coin I don&#039;t really want, I may tell the seller that I&nbsp; don&#039;t necessarily want to buy it but I can give you a ballpark of its&nbsp; value.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer to ask the seller what they are asking for their coin because I don&#039;t want to &quot;insult&quot; the seller with an offer they may feel is extremely low.&nbsp; Also, I will then know if we are even in the ballpark and depending on the number, I can decide if we will be able to get together.&nbsp; If I feel the seller&#039;s number is really off, I may just pass and not counter.</p><p><br /></p><p>The best way for you as the seller to get the best possible deal is do some research before you bring coins to sell.&nbsp; Know what you paid, what the current market is, what the rarity is of that coin, as well as the condition and flaws of your coins.&nbsp; Check online auction prices, Grey sheet if you have access to one, Coin World&#039;s Coin Values prices, PCGS and NGC online prices, even Ebay.&nbsp; But remember to compare apples to apples, etc.&nbsp; Don&#039;t compare your cleaned beat up coin to one you see in MS65 condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t want to do all this, then you will be at the mercy of the dealer and will most likely end up getting a lot less for your coin.&nbsp; But if you are just selling what is known as &quot;dreck&quot; (common, nothing special, not rare coins), then be realistic and don&#039;t try to get &quot;moon&quot; money for those coins.&nbsp; And you can always &quot;shop&quot; your coins to several dealers and then go back and take the best offer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
