Among other considerations, it depends upon the type and quality of coins, what their current wants and inventory are, etc. Often, if you bought the coins from the right dealers, they will pay strong/fair prices to buy them back.

Agree, and frequently it's another collector. Try the BST before getting a dealer's low ball offer.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

There's nothing wrong with trying the BST. But please don't give the impression that "low ball" offers are exclusive to dealers.
And if the coins are truly PQ, in order to get full value for them, they will need to be sold on a sight-seen basis.

spot on

We've bought our fair share of coins on the BST, too.

To clarify things a bit, I was thinking about the local B&M coin shop who typically don't make generous offers for coins they buy over the counter. Naturally, there a exceptions to every generalization.

Mark is right, the most outlandish offers I have ever gotten on a coin for sale is from "collectors" on the BST. I remember offers for $200 for PCGS 1915 Proof Barber half in PF62 and $150 for AU NGC graded 1909s indian. I am ok for letting them go for wholesale but that was a bit much and I have never had a dealer come close to that level of crazy.
Most dealers have their area of expertise and typically offer a little more because they already know where/who they can move it to.
Locally, I take all my scrap 90% and common date dollars to Silvertowne, while the better date stuff goes to collectors or Briggs (especially better Seated stuff).

Similar to the car business, worst lowball offers I have ever seen have always come from private individuals...
Like has been said before, it depends.
I wouldn't go to Larry (SeaEagleCoins) with colonial copper, he'd look at me all funny (more so than normal)... I wouldn't offer Laura my mid grade Barbers, and Doug Winter is the last place I'd try and sell my 90%.
<< <i>The "best" dealer might be different depending upon what the coin is that is for sale. >>
What Tom Said. In some cases the best dealer is the Heritage auction. Please visit my site to see how you can get more than hammer.

The one who offers you the most money.
Ha. I crack me up. (Sorry- couldn't resist.)
Edit- eh, phooey. I should've known several people would beat me to the punchline on that one.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

I agree.

This is actually good advice---frequently you have to show a coin to several dealers to get your best offer.
