Message:: [QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 702246, member: 16948"]BNB, "listen to me" you say???  Wow, pot/kettle here!  Did you not read or understand my post?  I said I see nothing wrong with haggling, never have had a problem with trying to get the best deal.  Haggle away all you want - it's the "American Way."  So you don't need to beat that horse again.  But BNB, you seem to ignore that I also said you shouldn't necessarily walk away from a coin just because the dealer wouldn't budge on the price.  To me, it seems like it is your goal is just to get the best possible price, with less consideration for the quality of a coin.   So I am a bit confused - are you trying to be a dealer, or are you a collector?  Because most of what I have said in this thread has been directed to a collector, so perhaps we have some disconnect.  I can understand as a dealer not wanting to pay too much for a coin and stick closer to Grey sheet prices, but this does not necessarily work for the collector who is trying to put together a nice, quality set.  Of course you can get a good deal (meaning low price) on a quality coin now and then, but that will not be the general rule. So I understand you tend to have your cut and dried rules that you prefer to follow in buying coins, but it can pay to be a little more flexible in the way you approach things.[/QUOTE]
