<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aubade21, post: 1750431, member: 44104&quot;][/quote]This also can be a good way to get told to &quot;pound sand&quot;. All depends on the individual dealer, but for one who takes great care to screen and/or obtain their offerings, this can be highly insulting, so if you try this, it is probably best to stick with dealers who have a very general/generic inventory.[/quote]</p><p>&nbsp;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, I suppose that I would have an issue with a dealer quoting me a figure that is 25 or 30% above the fair asking price on a coin that does not warrant it. It sort of makes me think...does this dealer think I am clueless about the value of this coin (or that I can&#039;t do a little checking)? But I do agree, it really depend on the dealer. I would never be rude or shove it in their face that I can get a coin of equal or better condition for much cheaper in other areas. At most, I would mention I have done my research online (and elsewhere) and feel confident that X dollars is a fair price, and the most I would feel comfortable paying for said coin. Then, if they wanted to know how I came by that figure, I would not feel bad about dropping Ebay into the discussion. Chances are, they buy and sell on Ebay too.</p><p>I don&#039;t think this is a whole lot different than when I buying a car, or go to a mechanic, or shop for any other competitive service. I believe that by showing you know your stuff, you will be less likely to be bamboozled, and agreeing to a deal you would later lament.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>***Disclaimer: I have made more than my fair share of regrettable deals, so I do not want to come off as if I have never paid too much for goods/services. I just hate it when thirty minutes of research could save me a significant amount of cash.***[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
