<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AshcraftCoin, post: 543664, member: 17767&quot;]Well, I can&#039;t speak for others, but I can give you an example in my case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to a coin show recently and had 70 random ASE in various conditions (no real bad ones... some in air-tites, some flips, some mint boxes).</p><p><br /></p><p>I wanted $18.50 each for them and offered early in the show to sell all to one person (non-dealer) for $18 each. Well, that guy bought $90 worth of wheat pennies off me (2 5 lb bags + 8.5 rolls) and was very interested in the ASEs, but moved on to peruse the rest of the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I took a look around the show and found someone (dealer) who was advertising &quot;Buying Silver Dollars&quot;, so I chatted him up a little bit about what I had and told him I would check back with him later... still hoping to get a better price from the first guy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime I sold 5 for $18 or $18.50. (unsure)</p><p><br /></p><p>Come to the end of the show and the first guy had come back to negotiate, but he was offering less than $15 each... for that I would just hold on to them! I didn&#039;t even try to talk him up after that. (Probably should have, but I was tired and not thinking quite straight!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I really didn&#039;t want to take those back with me seeing as it was my goal the whole day to sell them, so I took the whole pile over to that other dealer and he looked them over. He made an offer, I made a counter offer, he made an offer, I made a counter offer... anyway, we settled on $16.50 each (spot was at about 13.15) and he bought the 65 I had left and paid cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was less than I wanted and I certainly could have sold them for more on Ebay or by holding on to them, but this way was much easier, cheaper, and less time consuming. In addition, I had been holding those for awhile and it was time to move them off to someone else and put the money toward a new purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I will let you in on a little secret... I had bought when silver was around $10 to $11 and I paid $14.50 each from another local dealer! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, I still made $2 each. (not counting extra expenses)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, there is some insight in to a dealer to dealer to dealer transaction. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
