My Mother had a silver ring she didn't wear and wanted to see how much these jokers advertising they bought valuables would pay her for it. She went to the hotel hall where they were set up and waited a half an hour to be seen. When they looked at her ring, they offered her $18 dollar for it.

We then went to a local jewelry store where they offered to buy gold, silver and old coins and they paid her $47 dollars for the same ring.

I say all of these people who travel around the country advertising to buy stuff is just looking to rip as many people off as possible.....

David by the time you pay for lodging, fuel, advertisements, staff, ect do you really think they are going to pay you 80% or more of VCP values? They probably make offers based on the hope they can turn a buck or two and keep it going just like dealers at card shows. Just wait till someone like this make a massive find and brings it to the hobby. People will be lined up to buy those cards.
