<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 1522859, member: 5787&quot;]I usually deal with folks that I like to deal with.&nbsp; Thus, I&#039;m usually complimentary on the dealer&#039;s grade of a coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ll usually say something like, &quot;you&#039;ve done a good job grading these coins&quot;.&nbsp; It seems to create a more positive start to the negotiations.&nbsp; I will typically look at a few coins that he or she might have and then typically return to the one or two that I really want.&nbsp; I will usually then say &quot;I really like this coin&quot;.&nbsp; What&#039;s your best offer on it?&nbsp; They usually come down from the asking price.&nbsp; I will then move to the second coin and say &quot;I sort of like this one too&quot;; how much for both?&quot;&nbsp; I usually get a pretty good price for both coins and may dicker a little but usually not.&nbsp; At the end of negotiations, I almost always restate his fair grading practices.&nbsp; Please note that I deal with people who I feel grade well and not ones that don&#039;t.&nbsp; Thus, I&#039;m not sucking up but just stating the obvious.&nbsp; I might not always get the very best price for the coins but I leave feeling good about the deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
