<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 521754, member: 17256"]I don't need the ANA ethics book, I don't plan on being a dealer. I know several ANA dealers that lowball people on coins or try to make really low offers if they think they can get away with it. So your argument that ANA membership fixes all that is faulty. Definitely agree with you to buy from a dealer you trust, but heck, even my dealer (ANA life member) that I trust offers me a low price sometimes just because he knows I will always ask for more than his first offer anyways. I don't mind, its all part of the negotiation process. The only defense is to know what you have and know what is worth. A fool and his coins should have never gotten together in the first place. If a dealer works with knowledgable sellers he can't continue to make lowball offers without alienating the better clients. So I guess you are the person that has never offered less for something than what it was worth or what you were willing to pay? (car, house, etc) or were you being dishonest too? And you wouldn't buy that $40 3 legger cause its dishonest? Doubt it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
