[QUOTE="Derek2200, post: 4938734, member: 106755"]I have never had a buyer horn in on what my cost or spread is on an item. If lowball offer may just get rid of them or give them line (like below). I have had sellers volunteer at shows “that’s just $5 over cost” (world gold coin), or “I operate on a 4 pct spread” (wholesaler - boxes of slabbed coins), “it’s $100 which is lowest consignor will do.” So if I were pressed on what my spread is borrow something from playbooks above or use some of my own lines. My cost in an item, how I operate is confidential with the seller, proprietary data of my business not their business. For unreasonable offers (asking for outrageous discounts above 10 pct) just use one of plays above, make counter offer, or get rid of them. You could ask them “have one sell me at that?” Shuts them up every time. I have no use for tirekicker low ballers. If they want buy at wholesale - go open coin shop.[/QUOTE]
