<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1469737, member: 28199&quot;]I agree.&nbsp; You see it on here and other forums.&nbsp; Sellers want retail pricing, buyers want it for less.&nbsp; For the average seller in a venue like eBay or a Buy/Sell/Trade section of a forum, there is little overhead costs compared to a brick and mortar shop.&nbsp; I will haggle a little if I think the price is a bit high from the shop, but if it appears in line with current pricing I usually let it (haggling) go.&nbsp; If it&#039;s way off base I will simply walk away.&nbsp; I am willing to pay the prices at a shop, considering it the cost of the convenience of being able to see the coin in hand, and take it home immediately, as opposed to paying the same prices from an eBay seller, who I don&#039;t really know, waiting for the item to arrive, and hoping it&#039;s the one pictured in the auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The trick is knowing when a seller has set a price too high, knowing the buyer will come in and haggle, but hoping he&#039;s not smart enough to realize that the price is artificially inflated so when the haggling is over, the buyer thinks he got a deal (IE &quot;I got this $300 coin for $250&quot;, when the actual value of the item is $50)&nbsp; This is especially true when dealing with flea market or small shop vendors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
