<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7770333, member: 105098&quot;]&quot;I paid more than that&quot; In a lot of cases, yes, yes they did.

You know the game and you could easily tell the seller &quot;hey, I&#039;m not buying unless I get it cheap enough, this is what I&#039;m offering and if that don&#039;t work, we won&#039;t be able to make a deal.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller left just as frustrated as you did from the interaction I assure you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dunno. I find it vexing if the roles were reversed and the seller wanted to buy a coin marked $1600, looked it up somewhere and it was $1500 and only offered $1200 for it. But I guess it would matter what you paid for it if you immediately struck a deal or not for the $1200.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;I paid more than that&quot; applies in both directions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
