<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 340179, member: 5418&quot;]Basically, I avoid any dealer like the plague who isn&#039;t friendly or who refuses to ask me if I need anything or would like to look at anything (unless they&#039;re busy, of course). No need to give money to grumpy dealers who act like they don&#039;t want to deal with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Half-off bins are generally full of over-priced coins that equal out to what you would normally pay when the price is cut in half...I obviously avoid those (usually they are U.S. coin bins). However, world coin bargain bins are great to rummage through, and some great deals can be found there if you collect world at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always try to bargain, doesn&#039;t hurt to try. If I find two coins I like that are $17.50 total, I ask if they&#039;ll do both for $16. They almost always take an offer like that, and the smart dealers always give you a discount anyway to keep you coming back (no harm there!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Make sure you bring a comfortable bag to hold your coins, money, any numismatic material you pick up, etc. I used to bring my bike messenger bag, but now I&#039;ve started bringing my computer bag.</p><p><br /></p><p>I try to dress a little nicely. Helps dealers feel more comfortable around you, generally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
