<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 324673, member: 8033&quot;]I suppose it could really make a difference in different states as to laws.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go to two dealers mainly. One always has his prices well marked but will negotiate. The other does much greater volume and frequently tosses stuff out as he gets it. Now, I&#039;ve seen XF Trade Dollars in 2x2s with $9.00 price tags on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Course those 2x2s were probably older than me. I offer him $9 and we both laugh. He takes a look at Greysheet (and he knows I&#039;m not a total idiot) then offers me a price. If I like it I pay it. If not - he&#039;ll sell it eventually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think of the volume some of these dealers go through for a moment. If they constantly updated EVERY coin they show you probably wouldn&#039;t see much. They are in business and you won&#039;t buy what you can&#039;t see.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with either of my dealers but will tell you that they do get better bucks from &quot;newbies&quot;. They can quote retail, drop it a few bucks and the buyer is happy. Nothing wrong with that as far as I&#039;m concerned.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they want to sell to a more experienced collector prices drop if they want the sale. They understand it and we understand it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for a guy raising the price to the levels you quoted. He&#039;s beyond nuts. It will only hurt him in the long run.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I happen upon a new or different shop I play &quot;stupid&quot; just to see if they&#039;ll try to take me. If they don&#039;t I&#039;ll be back If they do it&#039;s one trip I&#039;ll never make again.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
