<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 7521950, member: 92655"]I have a guy that buys abandoned storage units. When he comes across jars or bags of old coins he calls me. The way the deal always goes is something like this..... He will set the bag down, we trade greetings... Then it is on.... I don’t even plunder the bag. I give it a quick look and make a mental note that I think maybe $200.00 in melt silver is in the bag. I get my wallet and peel out eighty bucks. He laughs and tells me he needs $150.00. I tell him a hundred is all he will get out of me. The deal is struck and he goes on about his business..... Now I typically make out well on these deals. I know all he wants from me is whatever he paid for the unit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point being is that if you take the time to inventory each item, examine and discuss it, you will end up buying at a fair market price. If you are looking for a deal then you need to trust your instincts and start dealing from there..... Now this isn’t a tactic I would use against a family that is liquidating granddads collection. I would have to be much more fair in a transaction like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
