[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 2931386, member: 75525"]I like your list, and modify it a bit as follows: (a) Offering interesting coins within the collector's price range (i) The key here is to offer coins in my collecting interest. If I can not afford them it is like going to a museum, which is fun, but not a place to buy. (b) Expectation of authenticity. A guarantee is nice as a back-up, but often not worth much. (c) Can I see the coin in hand before buying. I pay a premium at coin shows because I can see the piece first. Really good pictures are a distant second best. (d) Willingness to accept returns if dissatisfied with coin (d) Ease/responsiveness of working and communicating with dealer/auction house (e) Price - delivered price is how I look at a coin purchase. I put the rest of your items in this calculation. (i) Willingness to negotiate prices (ii) Cost of shipping and insurance fees (iii) Cost of buyer's fees (iiii) Good prices/values for coins listed/auctioned.
