[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1347927, member: 24633"]You didn't specify whether these coins are raw or certified, but I'm assuming they are raw because buying toners certified by a reputable TPGS shouldn't be difficult online. There is too great a risk that raw coins sold on FleaBay are not what they are advertised and/or the photos have been juiced to mislead buyers. If your local B&M is, in fact, grading them accurately and selling them raw, you should try to negotiate a lower price because it would still be up to you to foot the bill to have them certified (if you wanted). Whether you do or not is immaterial, and the shopowner doesn't need to know that. If it were me and the owner didn't want to come down on the price, I would be looking for another place to buy coins. I would simply tell him, "Well, it has been pleasant, but I can't afford your prices, so I will look for another place to buy them." If you have been a reasonbly good customer, he should want to try to keep your business. Chris[/QUOTE]
