<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Yahya, post: 544062, member: 15639&quot;]My local coin shop closed last August - the owner was retiring to enjoy his leisure.&nbsp; He told me he&#039;d started and closed several businesses over the years, and wouldn&#039;t particularly miss dealing in coins.&nbsp; But he would often go out of his way to make up a nice selection for me (NOT his biggest spender!), according to my interests and budget; and I only had to demur slightly over what seemed to me to be slightly too pricey an item, for him to discount it immediately by up to 15%.&nbsp; He was an experienced dealer, and knew he&#039;d make more by cultivating a customer relationship than by sticking rigorously to a marked price.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;d venture this thought - if the coin shop wants your business, they&#039;ll probably indulge in a little discreet haggling - and if they don&#039;t, try elsewhere!&nbsp; Successful businesses have clear objectives, but they&#039;re also flexible in the methods they use to achieve them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
