<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 886555, member: 112&quot;]Look, it&#039;s not that I haven&#039;t considered anything. I know there are a hundred possible differences. The point is you are supposed to accept the hypothetical scenarios as being factual and forget all the possible different reasons. That&#039;s the entire point of hypothetical situations.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like this, dealers are bashed, beat up, bad mouthed, and called everything in the book by collectors on a daily basis. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I was trying to do was to show that dealers are no different than collectors. They honestly can think that a slabbed coin is over-graded, in fact they often do. They are not always out to get the collector. To find some way, some made up reason to beat the collector out of his money. But the collectors always think they are ! </p><p><br /></p><p>I defy any of you to find me one story related in a forum, a coin magazine, or even an article on the net, related by a collector where the dealer offered whatever reason for his seemingly low offer for a coin or coins, and the collector did not think that the dealer was either trying to rip him off or take advantage of him of him in some way.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to get across here is the dealer is not always the bad guy ! Sometimes he is just being honest and has a very valid reason for what you the collector consider to be a low ball offer. </p><p><br /></p><p>And no, I don&#039;t mean that that reason is the difference between wholesale and retail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collectors need to realize that sometimes they, the collectors, screw up ! Sometimes the TPGs screw up and over-grade coins ! Sometimes the dealer is just being honest ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
