<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 141636, member: 4552"]To answer your question I have tryed exactly that several times. A few dealers I found on these type of forums and a few dealers I met at coin shows. The results really are not good. Dealers I've contacted that I found on these forums that have web sites I checked out certain coins I would like to pruchase. I emailed them that I was interested in certain coins but the prices were a little above what I would like to spend. In all such cases I was told the prices are what they are. Only one dealer said that if I purchase over $100 dollars worth of coins he would reduce the prices by 5 %. Then there are the dealers I've met at coin shows and I recieved thier cards with their web sites on them. At the coin shows it was easy to bargain down at least 20% of the asking prices but when I contacted them via the internets email they told me thier web prices are firm. Nuts to them. Now when I go to a coin show and meet one of them I tell them about that stupid email remark of firm prices and even at times bring a print out of that, they apologize and try to tell me their web site prices are much lower than at the coin shows. I must look like an old dummy or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
