<p>[QUOTE="OldSilver, post: 1395528, member: 30146"]Hey guys. Since i first started collecting i have been to about 6 coin shows. I have never really thought about it being rude until now, but i have gotten into the habit of trying to brong the price down on every single coin i buy. Whenever im buying a coin from a dealer that is labled for more than ten dollars, i always ask if he can lower the price. For example if i saw a common date franklin half in ms64 condition marked for 30, i would ask if the dealer could do 28. A lot of times i also use the excuse that im buying multiple coins to bargain. For example i once bought approximatley 20 choice bu wheat cents from the same dealer. The grand total based on the labled prices would have been about 56 dollars but i said "sine im buying all of these as a lot could you do 48?" the dealer looked through the doins and fortunatley said yes but looking back on all the times ive done this im beggining to wonder if everyone does this or if im being greedy and rude. Do any of you guys do this as well? Or do you only try to bargain if you think the dealer is overpriced?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
