<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1806174, member: 38783&quot;]Very good info already posted.&nbsp; I agree with making everything, and I mean everything, that you want very clear to the dealer when you start, and continually refine as you go along.&nbsp; Information is key and will avoid many of the situations you might worry about if it&#039;s continually flowing back and forth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll echo Medoraman&#039;s comment on the part about feeling obligated to buy - &quot;very SPECIFIC wants that you have gone out of your way to ask him to locate for you.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel there&#039;s a difference between something that has presented itself without much effort, and something that he had to put significant time and possibly his own money into obtaining for you, and whether you should feel obligated to buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example if someone walked into his shop selling a coin you had on your want list and he picked it up as part of the general sale and would have even if you weren&#039;t looking for it, I wouldn&#039;t feel obligated to purchase it if it didn&#039;t meet my criteria.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if he searched and purchased something specifically because it met the criteria you have agreed on, I would feel obligated to purchase it unless he bought it outside of an agreement you had for right of refusal (i.e. he was instructed to clear the purchase for you beforehand but bought it anyways).</p><p><br /></p><p>Not an exact comparison, but relevant... I used to freelance on the side for IT work - building/fixing computers for people and businesses, setting up networks, etc.&nbsp; If a customer asked me for something specific for them that I had little to no chance of being able to resell somewhere else, I would always have in the agreement they would be responsible for reimbursing any out of pocket purchases made regardless of implementation.&nbsp; If a customer changed his mind on something like a generic business-class whitebox PC, I could easily sell it to the next customer and not lose much other than time.&nbsp; But if it was a custom solution, for example a touch screen restaurant ordering / POS solution, I&#039;d be stuck with a very large and expensive hunk of metal since the resale base is very small and if I was able to sell it would most likely be for a considerable loss.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Same with coins, I&#039;m sure some stuff would be OK to refuse and the dealer would be able to resell without much of a problem but others would be much harder to get rid of and cause them at least some sort of distress in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
