<p>[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 2097110, member: 28531"]One of the hardest skills to learn is how to keep your mouth shut - including typing. There are so many times I've said things I wish I hadn't. Very rarely do you regret what you didn't say (other than those perfect comebacks you think of 30 minutes too late.) I keep hoping to improve; I know I'll never master it. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's very difficult to bite your tongue when you know what something is worth and the person selling it thinks you don't. It feels personal, like you've been called stupid. The OPs friend should treat all such interactions like he's playing poker. You don't act excited when you cherrypick something for a low price, put that same face on when you ask about a $10 coin and the dealer says $75. You just learned something about that dealer. File that away in your brain and move on to the next coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
