I offered this serpent 6000$ for this coin several months back , only to have him tell me his boy had more then that " in it " and " most likely would not go lower then his cost " . Now it's for sale for less then 1/2 , a real fire sale it would seem . I wonder why now suddenly he can let it go for thousands less then his " cost" ? Makes me think when most tell you " I got more then that IN IT " there just speeling a line of B.S. PCGS MS67 FBL 1958D Franklin

Maybe this thread had something to do with it?

So what are you griping about? If you liked it for $6k, you should be all over it for $3,700!!
...he blocked me from bidding as I had a few choice words for him about his " cost" .........

<< <i>$9,500 probably sounds like a lot of money for any Franklin however I would be surprised if you have seen many Franklins of any date, grade or designation with toning like this one. >>
That BIN of $3675 is a hell of a drop from $9500.

I knew it would happen.
A friend of mine wanted to branch out into a new area of collecting and he bought a couple coins from this seller. My friend decided this particular series was not for him and tried to sell them back to this dealer. This dealer was not interested.
Not only would he not buy them back, (at a loss to my friend) he wouldn't even make my friend an offer.
Just a thought.

Yup. Took a hard loss on that one. Gotta move the $$ on to something else. C'est la vie. We've actually repriced a bunch of stuff that has hung around. If you had your eye on a coin that's been listed for a while, might want to go back and check to see if the price was reduced.

Never B.S.'ed you. Adrian didn't want to take a loss on it at the time and now he does. It just happens to be a pretty substantial loss this time.
I've heard people complain about some of the higher priced coins that have hung around a while on our website so Adrian and I decided to go through the entire inventory and take a good while determining new retail prices for them not taking into account how much we had in them. Now, when we do this, supercarcoins decides to use his alt to whine about it. Dealers can't win here can they?
Really need to keep Adrian busy... I think he posted here yesterday about 300 times....

The 1883 Proof Indian isn't reduced yet ( bahhh humbug )
First, if a dealer tells you he has "more than that in it", and it's really just on consignment to him at "more than that", has he misled you?
Second, isn't that just an ugly and dirt common 58-D Franklin? What am I missing?

thank you for pointing out it's a dirt common ugly tarnished coin in the first place . And to even hint at an asking price of $9000.00 for such a p.o.s is an insult to every God fearing coin collecting person on these boards .
<< <i>I never want to hear what a dealer has in a coin, I figure what the value is to me and make an offer, if they can sell it for that great, if not I just keep looking. Just because some one under pays or over pays for a coin does not influence what I think it is worth. If they ripped it I do not expect they are gonna cheap sell it. Just Bussiness

I agree. I'll pay what I want to pay and I don't care what they got it for (unless of course it is a ridiculously lower amount and their supplier has more

Asking $9000 for it isn't some evil insult to people....being stupid enough to pay that much may be though....even offering thousands of dollars for it, imho, isn't too smart either

I am not suprised Brandon blocked you for your "choice words". Calling him a "serpent" on this forum does not add much to your case either. I have found him to be a pretty class act. If you do not like the price of something, move on. Your feeble attempt to degrade a well respected forum member here will not sell either.
I was a Sonar Tech in the USN . And sonar techs know that an Anaconda is a snake ; and a snake my friend is a serpent .
I do not like snakes : and I am entitled my opinion . What is well respected in your mind or the minds of others might be garbage to me .
A coin dealer can change a price any time they wish.
A coin dealer can lose money on a coin, as well as make money.
A coin dealer can decide who they wish to deal with and who they
do not wish to deal with.
It is not reasonable to expect a coin dealer to please 100% of everyone
they may come in contact with.

I did not see where it was offensive to call him a snake after thinking about it. You can call me a dog if you like. What concerns me is the way this coin is being degraded here. It did not likely get in that holder by accident or fraud.

....but a dealer who does decide to ask multiples of the apparent market price for something may not be able to compete in the business forever either. One thing is for sure is that you would not want to see that Franklin back in stock any time soon after selling it for $9K. Be happy that you never forked over the $6K for it.
