<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2642999, member: 15588&quot;]I&#039;ve haggled plenty of times with numerous dealers. I have no problem with that. This was a special case where the dealer really didn&#039;t want to let me go because we had engaged in a pretty interesting discussion about Rome beforehand, so I think he thought he &quot;had me.&quot; He wouldn&#039;t budge on the price of the Aurelius so I told him I wasn&#039;t interested, but he kept handing me more and more overpriced coins, all of which I didn&#039;t want to buy. I was about to tell him to take a flying leap to where the moon doesn&#039;t shine, but conveniently someone came along, distracted the dealer,&nbsp; and allowed me a more graceful escape. It was an unusual circumstance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been pretty cold to a few dealers who must have assumed that I can&#039;t read Japanese and tried to pass things off to me that either weren&#039;t Japanese coins or not what they said they were (one tried to pass off a Meiji for a Taisho, which is pretty easy to spot if you know the Kanji for each). They may not have known what the coins were themselves, but they should make that clear rather than assuming. That made my bile boil, for sure. I walked away quickly and never went back to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
