Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1868825, member: 5233"]I personally don't make it a habit of haggling.  I just don't.  I think they are entitled to ask whatever they want and I need to decided if I like the piece enough to pay that.  If I do, then I do. The one exception to that is eBay when they have a "best offer" option...I always use it and try and get a better price. But, in an actual coin shop...I think I have once tried to get a lower price and they balked at it.  I was interested in buying 2 coins...both cheap.  One was $12 and one was $9...so the total was $21.  I asked if I could pay with a card and they told me that they didn't accept payment with cards under $50 because the fee was too high (which is actually a violation of their banking agreement...but that's OK).  I told them I only had $20 in cash on me and said if they'd accept $20 it's a deal.  They got really snippy about it.  So, I told them I appreciated their time and I left with no coins. I probably would have bought one coin if they hadn't been rude to me...but that's life.  The dealer had said a little while earlier that they were retiring and closing the store in a few weeks (this was my first time there).  I guess they just didn't want to deal with a new customer asking for a $1 off.[/QUOTE]
