This is what happens all the time, especially with rare coins. Smart dealers have something to point to, to show sellers (and prove) that they are paying them a fair price, when in fact they know the price guide is wrong. I can show many examples. The dealers 'know' and benefit by the lowball figures, just as the can benefit from the too-high figures as another strategy.

them cheap or wait for the revised edition, price them high then sell my
collection? Just my 2 cents wort on this one.
