<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1348417, member: 31533"]One of the things you can do if you see a coin you like at the show is to simply ask the dealer what he could take for it. Many dealers will automatically find a price point that is lower than what the coin actually priced at. Another term/phrase if he states the same amount of the coin, is "Well, can you move a little on that?". Or you can simply offer a slightly lower price or more in line with what you think the coin should sell to you at, and he can meet or counter you. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've done both of these things, and although I don't get any "fantastic" out of the world bargains, I usually can pick up a coin for what I think is worth my effort to buy it. Coin shows are great, I've now been to a few, and I will be going (hopefully) in Feb to Long Beach again. It's great to look at what the dealers have, and see what sparks your interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
