No signs of cleaning, no damage, and reasonable "beauty." Questions: If I take this coin to a dealer, is he gonna offer me $365? Will he then sell it for $395? Higher? How the heck does he make a living with only a $30 profit, if he sticks with these prices? Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:10 pm Ask is what he would ask another dealer to pay him...bid is what another dealer should pay him. Reality is dealers pay each other about 10% below bid so he would not pay a customer more than 15% below bid.....if any of that makes any sense. Report this Post to the Staff
fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:32 pm dealers will probably pay around 25% under bid. keep in mind that these figures are averages as stated that are factored from different sources. Report this Post to the Staff
Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:38 pm Thanks, boys and girls. :wave I suspected that for buying from customers, dealers would pay between 15% to maybe even 50% of bid. Depending on many factors. Ya'll have confirmed it. Report this Post to the Staff
