<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2878432, member: 112&quot;]Two reasons: 1 - to sell their magazines and/or online guides, and 2 - to induce people to buy the coins and thus generate impetus for the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it for a minute, everybody wants to think, wants to believe, that the items in their collection are worth a lot. So that&#039;s what the guides give them. If you are trying to sell something then you have to give the buyers what they want - not what they don&#039;t want. And they don&#039;t want a price guide that says that the coin they paid $150 for is only worth $65.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same kind of thing applies when people consider buying a coin. They see the asking price, then look in the guide. The guide says the coin is worth more than is being asked. So they buy it thinking they are getting a bargain because of what the guide says.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
