<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2529015, member: 19463"]It takes all kinds. I know one dealer who greets people at shows with "If you see anything you like, I can do better." I know dealers who never budge on a price. I do not ask for a discount on a coin that I will buy at list price and I don't ask about coins that are several times what I will pay unless they are owned by a dealer that I know is into halving all prices. I don't know if Victor has blocked me or not but I do know that I don't buy from dealers who do not reply to inquiries whether that inquiry be about price or something technical about the coin. Lets just say all dealers have enough patrons that they don't need my business so I will deal with the ones who have time to answer their mail and ship coins when ordered. One thing I really like about eBay/Paypal is the way the sellers are required to keep you posted or that the software automatically keeps you posted when the item ships and when it should be expected. Enough VCoins dealers seem particularly bad about this to the point I wonder if their software even notifies them when someone places an order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
