<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2929345, member: 71723"]I usually buy at auction (or from the Mint, for new issues) EXCLUSIVELY. I don't have the patience, or the will, to "negotiate" or "dicker" from an asking price. There is an exception. I buy from shows for really odd esoteric stuff, exonumia mostly, that helps tell a story, for exhibits. I use Cunningham for a lot of that, and I don't dicker even at shows. I put in front of the dealer what I want, and he usually offers me a discount from the marked price. But if I pull out a coin from the box, I'm prepared to pay the ask, if need be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
