[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1377671, member: 34700"]Well there you have it. Some (like me) enjoy the negotiating and some (like you) don't. I go to a coin show expecting to haggle on 1 to 3 coins, TOPS. There is a twice monthly show held near me and over the years I've gotten to know most of the sellers there. Some are easier to bargain with than others and some are non-negotiators (I avoid them if possible). I suspect some see me coming and deliberately quote me a higher price, knowing I will bargain with them! :) It's all done good-naturedly on my part and I strive to leave a sellers table with both of us happy with the deal. If I don't buy something from a seller, I still want to leave the table with both of us happy. I don't go to a show or a B&M with the expectation that I HAVE to buy something. I like to schmooze with the sellers if they aren't busy. Most enjoy talking coins and other subjects when not pressed for time.[/QUOTE]
