    I don't think so, I would go ahead and ask. They will surely quote greysheet pricing if you're the one selling, so I don't see an issue with transparency on both ends.

    If you really want to have some fun, ask them if they know what “churlish” means.😉

    They would probably tell me to use Google to look it up. :D

    Sure go ahead and ask. Don’t be surprised if they say no - “proprietary data.”

    That’s how you get it.

    Are you a churlish individual?

    yes I had to google the definition.

    I once had a Shakespearian insult generator. My favorite one was, “You churlish, claybrained nuthook.”

    Churlish-rude in a mean spirited and surly way.
    Interesting and uncommon word. Almost a delightful insult :D

    Had to google churlish. I have never heard that word before in my life.
    Are you asking if you should ask for the dealer to pay you greysheet pricing for your coins? Many times they sell 10 percent back of greysheet at least in my experience. So to buy your coins they must be paying less.

    thanks for the input.
    my grandmother used that term.

    so if i took a coin in that had a redbook value of x i should expect they would offer x minus 20%

    @boxerdad It depends on what the coin is. If its a highly desirable coin that the dealer can easily sell you do better than if its a coin they might sit on for years. If you get 80 percent of price guide you are doing well.

    What they can offer can vary based on current market conditions / inventory needs. A whosaler I buy from at shows probably gets stuff waking in his shop at 50 pct retail or 2/3 bid. It’s their team, their stadium, their crowd (shop owner). YMMV (free enterprise). Another guy - Jimmy offers 60-70 pct CPG cash money from his table at shows. Now he might pay 80 pct on some high demand key or really PQ piece. Last show saw him picking up 2 or 3 slab boxes from a guy. That pct procurement easily allows a 50 pct markup. 10c on $ doesn’t cut it in coin biz. He flipped me a couple at about 5 backa bid. I then marked them up accordingly.
