Well, I see TWO guys with pebbles in their shoes. But only one of them is disparaging the sanity of the other.
There is probably a happy medium between the two differing positions. (Though, without all parties SEEING the coins and transactions, I don't think we'll find it here). But you can get there by discussing the issue, or by brow beating and threatening about "actionable comments"....which is nonsense.

Anecdotes are fine. Opinions are fine. But when you want to publicly express a personal anecdote and extrapolate possible conclusions that you KNOW to be unfair in comparing apples to oranges based on how slabs/stickers are priced in today's coin world, and in the process imply that Legend's pricing is too high based on that example (which was not apples to apples and only one measly example which wasn't even an appropriate example), then I have to seriously wonder about YOUR campaign to discredit Legend's credibility.
Don't use words when you don't understand what they mean. Pray tell, how does suggesting prices could be more competitive discredit or attempt to discredit anyone's credibility?

@Elcontador you nailed that point. You might have to put more work in to get the coins, but if you know the players, then you should be able to get what you seek. Very Good point here.

If some of these posters feel the need to wage a drawn out campaign against anyone with the opinion that Legend is overpriced, they will be very busy indeed.
I understand the dispute from both sides, but its just ridiculous to throw out terms like "actionable" and "disparage". Right, wrong, or indifferent, it was clearly just one individual's personal opinion.

So let's be clear about one thing then. You seem to be into selling nice examples of mid grade circulated Barber Halves. Those that might not know that space might think your prices are a bit inflated (I don't by the way). But disregard that group entirely. If someone purchased a comparable mid grade Barber half as you might have in your inventory in an NGC holder (which I know to be very possible) for a material discount to the prices you are asking for you PCGS CAC coins, and argued that your inventory is overpriced, that is okay? Because that is pretty much exactly what happened here.
I put my money where my mouth is! Sell me the coin I was defending where I can make a modest profit 10% or so and I will buy it! And I'm not talking about a crap coin..I'm talking about a coin on par with the coin I was defending. I recently saw the same date and grade sell on ebay for a couple hundred less and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole even with a 10% ebay bucks offer...yes I could have bought it!

Because there is a bigger following for PCGS coins and that's what most of my customers want. I crack the coins I need to maintain my PCGS inventory. If I have one in the same grade in a PCGS holder I don't crack it as a rule until I need a PCGS coin. I only submit as rule twice a year and everything is fair game without the added cost of PCGS grading until I do a submission.
You would be surprised how many times I am asked regarding a raw coin why I haven't had it graded!

Well the fact that you claim to crack out NGC coins to have them cross at PCGS tells me everything I need to know. Why not just keep them in the NGC holders and sell them for the lesser price as you claim to do in other instances? Sounds like a lot less hassle for you and a "good buy" for your customer.

It seems like you're asking Legend and its reps to not defend themselves all the while you seem to be inclined to defend yourself at the slightest provocation. No one even accused you in this thread of overpricing. And the example that BillJones put up was event more egregious because it completely ignored the market reality that PCGS CAC coins sell at a significant premium to other coins, even if the quality is the same.

I put my money where my mouth is! Sell me the coin I was defending where I can make a modest profit 10% or so and I will buy it! And I'm not talking about a crap coin..I'm talking about a coin on par with the coin I was defending. I recently saw the same date and grade sell on ebay for a couple hundred less and I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole even with a 10% ebay bucks offer...yes I could have bought it!
PCGS AND CAC will discourage collectors and there is no way to contradict that.
If the newbs all feel they ....have to... buy that premise, then many many many will ignore the hobby as just too damn restrictive.
My story and ....I... stick to that one.
only time will tell.
Every level of "requirements" for a suitable purchase drives another away.
Please leave those poor defenseless Barbers out of this thread, they haven't hurt anyone (back to lurker mode).
Because there is a bigger following for PCGS coins and that's what most of my customers want. I crack the coins I need to maintain my PCGS inventory. If I have one in the same grade in a PCGS holder I don't crack it as a rule until I need a PCGS coin. I only submit as rule twice a year and everything is fair game without the added cost of PCGS grading until I do a submission.
You would be surprised how many times I am asked regarding a raw coin why I haven't had it graded!
Why did you defend it? Why didn't you just let it go? Don't you realize that you were just making yourself look bad? Inquiring minds want to know...
And BTW amwld has some serious competition in overpricing Barbers (and I won't name them).
LOL! I'm not disparaging a potential or existing customer! It's one thing to defend your pricing...but another to make it personal!
People are entitled to their opinions. It happens everyday and those that let them roll off their shoulder or turn the other cheek always do better...especially in business!
Ironic, isn't it? Lol
Actually I walked away from that thread with the feeling of a victory!
There were no personal attacks in that thread...just healthy debate!
I thing you are digging a deeper hole!
Why? Aren't I entitled to my opinions? Lol
He didn't threaten a lawsuit. That's a huge distinction.
He hasn't put up with one person's bs for over five years...
????????????????????????????????????????????????
So he has been antagonistic towards you per your post for five years, and you cannot even recount one instance of an "actionable" comment?
I'm not ducking out...but time to go list some seashells on ebay! If you think pricing coins is tough without the gruff....try pricing seashells!
