<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2200690, member: 36230"]So coming here and calling this fellow "stubborn" for not giving you YOUR price is how "the game works"? Just because he was able to purchase from someone else, I assume at what he viewed as a reasonably profitable level, he therefore should have to pass on said profit to you because, oh I don't know... you feel entitled to it? I'm sorry, but that is not how the "game" works, and I promise you the person he acquired the coin/coins from didn't have a gun placed to their head forcing them to sell. This person, be it another dealer, collector, someone selling a gift or inheritance, etc, made a choice to accept or decline his offer, and this choice is the same as the one presented to you. If you think there is enough meat left, buy it and the best of luck to you, but if you don't, simply walk away to invest your monies and energies elsewhere. This, sir, is how the "game works".</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes.. I'm fully aware of one hand washing the other, but unless you are washing or have washed his without a return, what right do you have to expect him, other than your desire, to take money from his pocket and place it into yours? Also, there can be many reasonable explanations as to why he's being "stubborn" that have nothing to do with hoarding all that profit for his surely greedy self. Perhaps he gave the other person a "good guy" price and has very little room to move, or perhaps he paid a toning premium, essentially rolling the dice, and is honestly doing you the best he reasonably can. Unless you know exactly what he paid, and know every little detail about his expenses, overhead, clientele, etc, etc, you really have no right, beyond the above, to be complaining.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
