<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2533681, member: 73165&quot;]It depends on the people and the coin/price involved, IMO.&nbsp; With some dealers, the price is the price and you won&#039;t really get anywhere trying to bargain.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some dealers will come right out and say they can do better than the marked price.&nbsp; Dome, I&#039;m sure, would gladly accept the marked price but will offer a better price if you just ask &quot;What can you do on this coin?&quot;&nbsp; Some will respond well to you making a reasonable offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy from dealers of all four stripes.&nbsp; Of the four types I&#039;ve listed, only the ones that literally come right out and say they can do better will really declare themselves without you asking.&nbsp; I&#039;m of the opinion that if the coin is priced somewhat reasonably to begin with, asking for a small discount to feel the dealer out is generally acceptable.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t ask on a coin that&#039;s truly priced to sell, and I don&#039;t think I&#039;d even look at a coin that was priced too far out of the range I was looking to buy in, generally speaking.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never had a dealer become offended when I asked about a discount, although some have flat out just said &quot;Prices as marked.&quot;&nbsp; I just take the results of my initial encounter(s) and incorporate them into future dealings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
