Gotta rant.

You have done buisness with a dealer. His coins are nice quality and within reasonable price rang.
He calls and has a higher grade coin for sale then you currently have in your collection. You ask to trade your lower grade coin ( purchased from him ) plus cash to make up the differance for the higher grade coin you desire. He replies,"Sorry, we are inventory heavy". Palease! Show me your heavy inventory of 79cc GSA VAM 3's !! Show me your heavy inventory of 89cc's, AND show me your inventory of 90cc VAM 4's !! PALEASE ! image

Rant over.

    It would bother me, too, since it's a dealer you've done biz with before.image

    So buy the coin and sell yours on Ebay or to another dealer. The dealer doesn't want the coin and would that be fair to the coin to force it into a home that wouldn't love it? image

    This dealer sells you a coin and then doesn't want it back. That should tell you something about the coin he sold you. By taking a trade-in, his inventory isn't going to be any heavier so I don't buy that excuse. Time to look for a new dealer.

    That's kind of strange since many dealers have commented on how hard it is to build inventory lately.

    I have dumped several dealers for this exact same reason - some dealers just don't want a long-term relationship with a collector. I'm surprised that he didn't do the "the market is soft right now" excuse.
