    That seems like a question and not a remark.
  • FullStrikeFullStrike Posts: 4,353 ✭✭✭


    Im shocked that you even need to ask a question like that.


    Pricing at 300% would make you an elitist Dealer, the best kind. You could be the "Mr Mint" of the coin universe.
    You could just look down your nose at those who questioned your prices and the ones with the cash would be
    beating your doors down. A good stategy if you ask me.

    That would mean you can be a pushy loudmouth who thinks they know everything and have minions that defend you at every turn.

    Age old crap is no better than modern crap since grading is subjective.

    That's sarcasm not cynicism.

    "Everything I buy is top-notch when I buy it and dreck when I go to sell"


    Like that?



    Actually, a better one (and one I actually use) is:

    "Well, the price of silver will drop, I just bought a bunch."

    Two from late
    All the hacked companies are less concerned about the effects on their customers than the effects on their rep and bottom line
    eBay's abolition of the CCW is more about revenue protection than consumer protection.


    I could say more but I've already broken the rules, right?

    No matter how cynical you become as a dealer or collector it's never enough to keep up with the guy ahead of you.
  • lostincoinslostincoins Posts: 4,278
    Have to post this as it is apt to this forum.

    Men of integrity, by their very existence, rekindle the belief that as a people we can live above the level of moral squalor. We need that belief; a cynical community is a corrupt community.

    When people put garbage or fakes on ebay and say "this would be a great addition to you collection" and when you see it you think "I'll do you a favor and let you keep it in yours".
