<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2340040, member: 73165&quot;]Others have covered it well, but the main thing is to be polite.&nbsp; A little haggling is always acceptable and probably expected.&nbsp; It&#039;s the dealer&#039;s responsibility to know what he needs to get out of the coin and not take any less than that amount, but don&#039;t lowball.&nbsp; Don&#039;t reach into a case unless the dealer says it&#039;s okay.&nbsp; Do bring your own loupe, but, if you forget it at home, don&#039;t worry about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s totally ok to comment on or ask about different aspects of the coin.&nbsp; &quot;Is this a scratch here?&quot; could be met with &quot;Yes, and it&#039;s priced accordingly,&quot; or &quot;No, I didn&#039;t see that; I&#039;ll give you a discount if you buy it,&quot; or even &quot;Nope, that&#039;s a die crack!&nbsp; Here, come look at it under the microscope so you can see more easily.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>Respect the dealer as a knowledgeable professional until he or she proves to you otherwise.&nbsp; And, in that case, if the dealer is professional, but not knowledgeable, share what you know.&nbsp; Otherwise, walk away and keep it classy.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I will mention is that the fact you&#039;re even concerned about etiquette is a good thing.&nbsp; Have fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
