[QUOTE="drathbun, post: 1999825, member: 42789"]To me, this discussion boils down to this: Is it wrong for someone to counter a "best" offer? Probably. Then again, coin trading is much more fluid that shopping at Walmart, and a certain amount of bartering is expected. But is there a better way for the dealer to handle a low-ball offer? Certainly. I think that's what [USER=58810]@Vegas Vic[/USER] is getting at. All a dealer has to do in the situation is politely but firmly decline any further discussion. He doesn't have to stoop to the level of the insulting offer. Suppose I'm the next person in line, or standing at a nearby table, and I witness the dealer reacting poorly to what he or she feels is an insulting offer. Not only will the dealer lose the sale to the person in front of them, but potentially the next as well. But that's just the way I see it, and I think valid points have been made on both sides. I just feel that the dealer should do his or her best to take the high road in this situation.[/QUOTE]
