<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1715166, member: 41863"]Im surprised so many folks said they ignore these types of requests. I have been fairly successful at negotiating deals within ebay to purchase items at lower prices and sometimes off of ebays platform entirely. I dont see the harm in asking for a lower price, i dont know the person personally so i dont worry when they say no or ignore me. Worst case scenario they ignore me and i buy the coin anyway or move on to someone willing to negotiate. I also like to do the 'bundle' method and ask to remove 2-4 coins and buy them all if we can get around ebay. Theres still clever ways to work around ebay and their aggravation. I often times find myself looking up usernames in their respective towns on google to get the actual B&M store for a lower price. We all know if its on ebay they can usually knock about 10% off to do business offsite, and really its not that big of a deal if the seller operates a normal website or store front where they sell coins. How do they know my feedbacks if im buying off of ABCcoins.com? </p><p><br /></p><p>DLRC is an immediate example that comes to mind. Why would you pay their ebay prices when you can get it from their site almost automatically cheaper and lots of time even better than that by submitting an offer? I guess i just try to do my due diligence and seek out the best deals possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
