  • This week I buy something and pay a price that some people may not agree with. A guy comes into the pawn shop with gold and silver graded coins and he wants a lot more than I am willing to pay. Even though he wants more than I'm willing to pay, I still try to get the deal done. I explain why I can't pay the price everyone wants. After that, we go to a yard sale where used the eBay app to search an item pays off big time. So if you enjoy everything reselling or pawn shop related follow us along our resell journey.

    I like how at one point he asked for $25 for a piece, and you told him you’d do $30. Good respectful business right there

    Your coin customer did his research. He was happy with your offer. That is how it works. Fair deal.

    Been a coin collector for 55 years. I think paying 2200.00 for the gold buffalo was a reasonable price. I also think you are very fair with what you have been paying for items. My experience is a business has to make around 25 to 30 percent to survive. Keep up the good work.

    I’m not a stacker, but the feeling of real money, gold & silver, in your hands, reminds me of the pre1933 gold dollar, and how today we’re so removed from precious metal to paper money.

    • @AndyGraceMedia
      @AndyGraceMedia Před 2 měsíci +1

      Big coin and bullion dealers hedge their current positions on a daily basis using unallocated accounts or even the futures market. That's a tough thing to do if you're a small pawn business because you need to employ someone who's good at risk management and of course that costs a lot. The boys here are more than fair for their customers, themselves and us too watching from the other side of the world.

      When I was in Graduate school I went to sell my coin collection for tuition money. The coin dealer explained it to me clearly that made logical sense. If a coin is listed in the Gray Sheet for $100 the dealer will offer me 54% or $54. He will put the coin out for sale at 80% of Gray Sheet or $80. A customer comes in and bargains for the coin. The dealer has a spread of $54 to $80 to bargain and makes his 15 to 20% profit. The customer gets a deal at 75% of Gray Sheet or $75 the dealer makes 21% profit or $21 more than he paid for the coin. Win Win except for me that only got 54% of what the coin was worth of list. I have used this formula all the time when bargaining. Oh, I never sold my coins and still have them today.

    If he wants maximum value for his coins, then he should go to a coin shop. Truthfully, not even coin shops are paying spot for 1 oz gold coins. Right now in our area, coin shops are only paying $20 under spot for Gold Eagles - so I totally get your price offer. So he's lucky that you even offered anything near spot.

    • @frankbarton5025
      @frankbarton5025 Před 2 měsíci +2

    • @brianlaiepoint4181
      @brianlaiepoint4181 Před 2 měsíci

      @patharris5004 yes he could. He would also have to assume the shipping costs as well. At that point, would there be a significant difference. From where I live, it wouldn't.

    You are in BUSINESS.
    When you make an offer the potential seller has one of three options haggle/sell/walk!
    A couple weeks ago I took to my local pawnshop six Canadian sterling coins with an ASW of 6.5oz Au at about $180melt at the time and they offered $60 and I walked.
    You can pass on or buy anything you want, because you’re the buyer in BUSINESS

    Sorry to all the haters but I'm own a small business. Everyone who owns a business knows you have to make profit to stay in business. This means buy low and sell high. Does not matter what commodity your business deals in. Don't hate those people trying to make a living out there. I appreciate your openness in showing what it takes to keep a business going. While it's important to be good to customers and make them happy, it's also important to make money. Stop the hate!

  • @jadonnoble5621
    @jadonnoble5621 Před 2 měsíci

    You are 100% correct. I am an avid coin collector and I don’t know how most coin dealers make it. There margins are so low you would have to be moving a crazy amount of inventory to make it. That’s why I am a collector and not a dealer. Coin collecting is fun and I look at it as more of a long term investment.

    As even a very casual gold/silver enthusiast, short term precious metal prices change so much that I feel like I always pay too much.

They just complain cause you are a pawn shop, but why would you expect more from a pawn shop? Its a freaking pawn shop!

Rather keep my Precious Metals till I get at least spot price or $20 to $40 over spot price over my Gold. Silver most of the time you take hit that’s reason you stack for the Long Haul!!!
