<p>[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1367000, member: 28451"]I've had better luck with items that were "Buy It Now" with no "Best Offer" tab than I have with the "Best Offer" tab. As mentioned above, if there is an item I like, I will email the seller and make them an offer. In quite a few instances, it is accepted. I guess it's because he is not trying to employ a marketing strategy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of that and a little off topic, there is an online dealer named Talisman Coins; they actually have some different and interesting offerings. Anyway, I was looking at the 2012 Canada 1/2-ounce dragon that is currently being sold by the Royal Canadian Mint for $29.99. If you look at the Talisman Coins site, the retail is listed at $59.95, the regular price is listed as $49.95, but the sale price is listed as $39.95. It says you are saving $20.00 when in actuality you are paying $10.00 over the price at the Royal Canadian Mint. To make it worse, the shipping charge is just a tad shy of the $12.99 the RCM charges. Now that's what I call some effective shystering; sorry, I meant marketing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
