[QUOTE="SPP Ottawa, post: 1981028, member: 39508"]So what if a good-looking guy, who approaches your table with a fresh Starbucks Latte and a couple of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and gives them to you... does that make the haggle easier?? ;) As a part-time dealer myself at shows north of the border, you have to understand that what The Penny Lady is doing here, is trying to ensure there is a better, positive communication and relationship between you (the collector) and a dealer. A simple exercise I like to do, is to ask difficult customers to put themselves in my shoes, and ask them what would they do. Likewise, when selling a coin, I try to think like a coin collector. There are always difficult customers who want something for nothing - and there are dealers whom I never buy anything from - you reap what you sow... I applaud The Penny Lady for not only having an online presence in coin forums, but also taking the time to educate newer collectors on coin show etiquette. There are very, very few coin dealers who do this, and most certainly do not have skin thick enough to answer and reply to online criticism. Lastly, these were suggestions, not rules.
