<p>[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 1097350, member: 16948"]Trading is common, but for me it depends on the coin. If I have a coin on consignment, I do not usually take a trade for that coin since I have to give cash to my consignor. I will take coins in trade if I need and like them. Trading is a good way to get new stock. I just did a typical trade at Long Beach. A regular customer has been upgrading from AU to mint state coins and brought all his nice AU coins that he wanted to upgrade, and I gave him credit towards mint state coins he wanted to buy. That's a win/win for both of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you bought a particular coin from me and it is still in its original holder, I often will give you the price you paid (if I know it) less a certain percentage. I prefer to give credit and, depending on the coin, I may even give you a higher amount in credit than cash. However, I don't ALWAYS take my previously sold coins back because I may already have 10 of that same coin and simply don't need it in stock, or it may have been sold as a problem coin with a much lower price, and simply don't want that coin back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
