<p>[QUOTE=&quot;micbraun, post: 2302761, member: 54036&quot;]I think we Germans are good at many things, e.g. we make the best cars etc... but the &quot;coin hobby&quot;... don&#039;t get me started. Nobody wants to pay for grading services, most collectors don&#039;t care if coins have been cleaned or are damaged. They&#039;re looking for BARGAINS!!! </p><p><br /></p><p>My latest experience with a dealer at a coin show went like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike: Hey I have this AU55 Barber quarter for sale and the sign says you&#039;re buying world coins</p><p>Dealer: What do ya want for it?</p><p>Mike: maybe half of the list price, what do you think?</p><p>Dealer: how much is that?</p><p>Mike: $120... that&#039;s like €100 </p><p>Dealer: LOL I give you €25 for it</p><p>Mike: it&#039;s slabbed by NGC and a gem AU coin...? Grading fees were higher than that.</p><p>Dealer: I&#039;ll crack it out and sell it as UNC - nobody here can tell the difference between high AU and low MS anyway </p><p>Mike: thanks, I&#039;ll try my luck on eBay then</p><p>Dealer: eBay is full of crooks, especially when it&#039;s about coins</p><p>Mike: you sure must have an eBay store, right?
