<p>[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 1521513, member: 34652"]This past weekend I went to a LCS that I've been to a couples times before, both times I purchased several coins...nothing major, both times spent around $50. When I was there last weekend I looked at their Franklin halves and saw 3 that I really wanted to buy but didn't want to spend all the money on at that one time, so I only bought one of them. I was hoping to go back some time soon(within the next week) to buy the other two and hopefully work out a deal. One coin is priced at 75 and the other at 40 for a total of 115.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never tried to work a deal with a dealer to get a lower price, I've always gladly paid their asking price, so I'm not really sure how to go about trying to talk them down.
