Evening all , advise needed before I get ripped off

Nice one! Hope you got something out of coming on here? Don't forget us the next time something nice comes your way!

I have an other lot of those 1820 sovereigns , but i may hold on to them for abit

Dealer paid a very good price for them , received some good advise from a few on here , but when it comes to selling i think il look into properly as i did with 3 i sold , good job i didnt jump straight in and sell to those who made offers , id have been a good 400 light

In some respects your statement is not fair, as we all had some poor pictures to work from, some which were just taken from the net! £400 over three coins is not a lot, especially if the person you sold them to had the privilege of seeing them in hand?

This is the old problem of trying to make a financial judgement on images alone! You have to cover yourself by a small margin to allow for the details you can't see in an image, that could easily drag the resale value down by £600...what would you do if you were speculating on a grainy picture of a replacement car, which was due an MOT?

Glad you got a result though!

Prices are a strange thing - I have never and will never offer a top price on poor images i'd be a fool to do that. The team attempted to get you to provide decent pictures which were not forthcoming.Had you provided decent pictures you may even have secured better prices than you've realised. I have never met such a fine team of experts as i have on this site, and for all the assistance they have provided me I was taken aback by your statement.
