I agree coinwatch. I am looking at it as I am buying the coins and adding a $3 profit. The person who is buying from me is then adding his premium (which is more then mine). Not my fault. To me, and I could be wrong, is that a $3 markup is acceptable since the taxes eat up some of it. I personally would not mark up any coin that much. I tend to go my numismedia prices when selling coins. I see it all the time though as places like the Littleton Coin Co. will sell a $3-$4 Mercury dime for just under $10 and people eat it right up. Remember that final buyer is the one making the price. He was going to mark it up to that amount even if I did not add the $3. I did not think I was bragging as I a small time buyer who has never bought this many coins before and just asked a simple question since I value many members on this site. Maybe I should of not given out details but I thought it was interesting. Yes, there are still people out there that don't have Internet and why he does not have somebody else look at it I don't know but it is what it is. I don't know if it is his choice or just where he lives. I know many people that would love to live "off the grid" if they could. I have asked for this topic to be deleted because of the turn in events and feel bad it got that way it just annoys me that I was called a liar and am afraid I will be marked that way for now on.

Don't worry about it, E. People are generally pretty fair on this site. People get treated the way they deserve, for the most part. You're new but once members know you're not either selling something or trolling, you'll fit in fine.

Ill second the notion not to worry about it. Coin brought up a good point about people valuing buying things not on the internet, and sometimes people with a lot of money just dont care. 3 dollars from you isn't a bad markup, if they want to pay that for it thats their choice. As long as you arent selling fakes or being misleading about anything you really arent doing anything wrong, its not like youre taking advantage of a one time buyer trying to get a birthday present selling them a bag of lies about what theyre buying or selling stolen coins.
Its one of those things that just is what it is. Coin shop prices get defended a lot as dealers having to pay their bills which is true, but the same holds true here. If youre going to take a loss or not make any money theres no point in you making such a substantial purchase for someone that seems like you dont have a close personal relationship with

Well the money is on its way, It will probably be a week or so before I get a check then I will check out prices from the websites.
At todays price, I am at a 10% markup and my stamp guy is at a 20% markup. Now the % can change depending on what slver does next week. I am getting min. 5% markup even if silver jumps high.

Hope all goes well, ewaste. I've never liked having too many hands in a transaction but sometimes it's unavoidable. All you can do to protect yourself is documentation and taking all of the usual precautions: photographs of the sealed monster boxes before hand off, insurance and tracking if a delivery service is involved, and a signed receipt of goods upon delivery. This purchase is just big enough to maybe result in a lawsuit if things go wrong. Assume nothing and take all necessary precautions to protect your liability and reputation.
I'm not giving legal advice here. I'm only throwing out my .02 cents.
