<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1602635, member: 13307"]I would say just to keep in mind that both parties in the transaction have needs. Seller wants as much as possible, you want it as cheap as possible. If you acknowledge that the seller has bills to pay and has the coin/item you want, and that you are looking for a win/win transaction instead of a one-sided transaction in your favor...you should be able to at least start the conversation. That's the important point...getting the conversation started...and with a sale, the first no isn't always a firm no. Just keep in mind that they do need to sell inventory to stay in business...so as long as you're polite you should get better results.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you acknowledge all these, and the seller isn't willing to budge on price, you can walk away. There are always other coins...and someday, when you return, the dealer will probably still have that particular coin, and may be in a better mood to negotiate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
