Message:: [QUOTE="Player11, post: 1025554, member: 26725"]First I would estimate my asking price: CDN Bid is $5000 (his asking price is below wholesale). I would hope retail this coin around $6750 (in line with industry markups) but push it up to $7500 or hopefully higher due to the attractive toning. But with this horrible recession this may be pie in the sky. I would be a buyer around $3000 - $4500 depending on how much I wanted it for inventory (or how quickly I could move it) like if I had a buyer lined up. This is a big ticket coin and I don't like having a logjam of these in inventory, especially in this recession. Considering how Cheap A they have been on the Bay lately, he may have to lower the price to attract bidders. Based on my current analysis many coins are doing good to even realize 90% of CDN Bid. While I have had good luck with good retail buyers on the Bay, I sometimes think these guys are scarcer than the coins! With the low ball offers I have seen on the Bay lately I would be skittish of buying this coin for more than say $3000. I am a dealer, not an investor collector so any buying I do nowadays is for flipping it instantly at a profit. I have all the inventory I need to fill up my shop or cases at a show.[/QUOTE]
