I can only speak from a dealer's...
point of view as we are dealers only. We always show the seller what the book states and offer half that amount so that we can resale the item. We always tell them that if they want top dollar, an auction is the way to go, but if they want money now, half book price is what a dealer would pay. We always use "The Chip Rack" on pricing also.
That's just what we do as dealers--I am not sure how to handle it as a buyer/collector.
