<p>[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 558306, member: 8959"]I agree with what a lot of you guys are saying: in essence, the seller has a coin he wants to sell, and which i would like to buy. The "only" gap is the price. Either we agree or we don't. If we don't, i thank him, pass and walk on. </p><p><br /></p><p>In order to set a positive atmosphere when discussing the price, I always make sure i praise the coin, and make sure the dealer knows it. I think it does not come across too well if i want to buy a coin, but at the same time knock it in order to get a lower price. So i say something like: "I really like your coin, nice appearance, etc (mention any weaknesses if obvious, but do not hammer on them), could we agree on a better price which is mutually agreable?" </p><p>If the dealer can, he will then usually grant me a 10-20% discount. That is usual here and ca. 10% is expected. If he absolutely cannot meet my expectations, i thank him and walk on. No hurt feelings. It is all in the tone of the discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
