[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1395601, member: 27043"]There are absolutely WAYS to be rude, or go about the negotiation in a rude manner. Same general rules as a forum or, for that matter, kindergarten. You see a $100 coin. Offering $50 isn't rude. Calling the dealer names for not taking it is. Explaining why you don't want to pay more than $70 isn't rude. Telling the dealer he doesn't know what he's talking about is. Saying you'll pass on the coin at $80 isn't rude. Saying "I can get that coin for $65 all day at _____" is. Once you decide what a coin is worth to you, there's not a thing wrong with trying to buy it for that price. The fact is, the coin is worth what someone will pay for it. Set your price, make an offer. Maybe you're the someone, maybe you're not. Just treat people the way you'd like to be treated...be respectful, be courteous, be knowledgeable, be responsible. You'll get your share of good buys, your share of bad ones, and nobody will think you're rude. :)[/QUOTE]
