[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1377020, member: 34700"]Assuming the coin in question is marked with a price AND I have a good idea of its value, I'll start off with the perennial [I]"What's your best price?"[/I] If his "best price" seems like a good deal, then no need to haggle. Otherwise I may reply along the lines of [I]"Well, that's a little bit more than I can afford for that coin. Can you come down to {insert reasonable figure I would LOVE to buy it for here}".[/I] Sometimes I get the coin for that price. Sometimes the seller names a price below his "best price" but above my offer. If the price is right, I'll buy otherwise I will politely thank him for his time and move on. I find haggling with online sellers to be even more profitable for me. I always try to be polite and I don't, under any circumstances, denigrate the seller's wares. My motto: If you don't ask, you don't get.[/QUOTE]
