<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3560918, member: 90666&quot;]Am wondering how you buy coins at all, as all auctions that I am aware of have buyers fees. If one buys at retail, one is paying the cost + the buyers fee + the dealer markup.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And indeed everything is negotiable (I&#039;m not going to make a list but one has to use one&#039;s imagination and then some). It&#039;s not just about price: positioning and promotion can also be discussed - the &quot;three Ps of marketing&quot;, and if you choose to focus on one (&quot;I need awesome three dimensional virtual reality photos of my coins&quot;) then don&#039;t also expect to see those images beamed on the side of the Empire State Building and be charged no commission at the same time. One should be aware of one&#039;s negotiating power before starting. If consigning a few coins into a multi million dollar auction, and one decides to try and negotiate terms, the dealer may well suggest you try another vendor. Unless one&#039;s consignment forms a substantial part of a sale, I wouldn&#039;t bother; for one thing you depend on happy dealers to sell your collection going forward so trying to nickel-and-dime them at the outset may not play well later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
