<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 958694, member: 15445&quot;]I typically know or research what I am willing to pay before I ask the dealer for the price.&nbsp; I often actually walk away &amp; research the coin before returning to ask for his best price.&nbsp; If his quote is below my price I typically say OK.&nbsp; If his price is above my price, I might say that &quot;I was willing to pay $xxx&quot; and see if he comes back with a counter offer.&nbsp; If the dealers offer is way too high, then I just say thank you &amp; pass on the offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>About 25 years ago, a poor-mannered dealer offered me a coin for $100 and I just passed.&nbsp; It was an AU half dime with the inverted date.&nbsp; Before I walked away, he then said &quot;what about $50&quot; and I was mad as heck.&nbsp; He was willing to take me for an extra $50 and I wasn&#039;t even negotiating with him.&nbsp; (That was $50 in the 1980s).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
