Default Markets

There are tens of thousands of people around the world who buy, store and sell gold coins. Some do it for the bullion value, others see other values such as mint condition, complete sets, rare coins.

The collector who only sees bullion value would not pay much more than £193 for a gold sovereign, and there are plenty of coins of suitable condition. Those who want to have only pristine coins will pay up to £237 for what is essentially the same bullion value. Neither groups of buyers are wrong, or deluded.

The cost of building one of the triumph based re-bodies to a good standard probably totals about the same as it would to restore the original car to a very good standard. In the market place however, one is a "special" and the other is just another good example of relatively plentiful models.Different collectors or buyers will have their own criteria of what they are seeking, and what they find attractive.

The essence of these points have been stated and re-stated plenty of times, but there is only one person who does not seem able, or refuses to see the validity of the arguments that are supported by real world examples. This would suggest that RochdaleGT is either an ignoramus or a troll, or both. My recommendation is that they research this link, then follow the instructions.
