<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gotgot, post: 1081231, member: 28806&quot;]My only contribution to this thread is regarding ebay feedback: as a&nbsp; buyer on feebay, I will not leave feedback until feedback has been left&nbsp; for me. I completed my side of the transaction (payment) before you&nbsp; completed your side (delivery) so either provide me feedback or go away.&nbsp; I have actually had sellers email me and ask that I provide feedback,&nbsp; that it was their policy to not provide feedback until a buyer did so. I&nbsp; explain my logic every time this happens (maybe 1 our of every 40&nbsp; auctions or so). Once I got a response &quot;you make sense, but I cant&nbsp; change for one person, we&#039;ll agree to disagree&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am no fan of dealers nor of the larger subset they belong to,&nbsp; Humanity. Buyers fall into that group as well. That&#039;s why when I go to a&nbsp; show, I bring the junk I plan on selling with me and I ask what are you&nbsp; willing to pay. If I don&#039;t like the answer I say &quot;thank you&quot; and leave.&nbsp; Why would I negotiate and why should they?? I understand what the fair&nbsp; price is, if they are being greedy/want it for 20% below melt then&nbsp; conversation isn&#039;t going to change that reality. Or if the &quot;dealer&quot; has&nbsp; costs to do business so high that they have to buy at 80%/sell at 120%.&nbsp; What the heck is haggling going to do but waste everyone&#039;s time? </p><p>If anything you WANT the rip-off dealers to pull that stuff, offering&nbsp; 75% or 80% or selling at 10, 20 percent premiums over spot. The consumer&nbsp; on the other side of the transaction makes a bad decision and now&nbsp; that&#039;s money they cant spend twice. As long as you don&#039;t fall for it it&nbsp; is actually working in your favor, the faster the sheep get sheared the&nbsp; sooner you will be able to obtain the correct price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Call me &quot;Mr Margin Squeezer&quot; as I think you should be buying at 5% below spot and selling for spot. </p><p>Got double-digit spreads? We&#039;re not who you want walking around the show you rented a table at. </p><p>Are you an Ag-cumulator? then to see Mr Margin Squeezer, you need to BE Mr Margin Squeezer...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
