<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1043783, member: 6641&quot;]Everyone should do this with any dealer they deal with.&nbsp; You are much better off knowing exactly how someone is going to treat you!&nbsp; As an informed buyer/seller you have a much better chance of getting a fair deal.&nbsp; What&#039;s more important, your feelings or understanding how to get the most for your money?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not have said anything to the dealer as now you know that he probably sells high and buys low.&nbsp; I am sure in his mind he is justified because it is a business to him and he wants to make as much money as he can to keep it going.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Collectors should treat these transactions the same.&nbsp; Make sure to learn how to grade and if your are going to buy raw coins, make sure you are not paying for an inaccurate grade.&nbsp; If there is enough money involved, agree on a minimum grade and have the dealer get it graded. Then pay for the coin at the graded value with the additional grading costs. Dealer will not be as tempted to try to sell you a AU coin at an MS grade.&nbsp; There are two parties to any transaction and both have a certain responsibility to protect their interests.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
