<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 2226387, member: 74863"]If you know and trust the dealer, I'd let them know the highest you'd go. Sometimes, knowing your highest, they can get a lower price for you from the seller. By giving a dealer your want list they may purchase a coin on your list, just for you as they wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Then they give you the price and you say "No" because it's over your max. I think you just lost your dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>You want a trustworthy dealer, one willing to go the extra mile for you. If you know the dealer well enough, they will learn your likes and dislikes and spending habits.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have done this in the past, very successfully I might add. I still do but not on every coin that is on my want list. Some coins have been on my list for years so I keep in touch with the dealer to let them know I'm still interested. I have four I'm still trying to get but my dealer can't locate them. The dealer has assured me he is searching and watching coin shows but they are not about to overpay for it either. Two years ago I finally got one coin for another set that I wanted/needed (ha ha) for $2000.00 less than it retailed for. The dealer trusted me because that's a lot of money to put out but it paid off for both of us.
