What if the dealer wasn't in tune with current market prices? Another scenario, you're on vacation and you happen in a coin store. The owner is accustomed to haggling and slightly over prices his coins to add a little cushion to cut into. His price is just on the high side of retail, but within your budget, you all are telling me to just give him the price, even though this dealer is already expecting to sell it for less. Absolutely not. I work hard for my money and absolutely will not just hand it over without someone else equally working to pry it back out of my hands. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I'm going for the best price possible on just about everything i buy. I always ask if there's room to work, if not then that's fine, but I am going to test the water either way about 99% of the time.  I mean it's a very simple question, and should be performed in good taste, but I don't think its a bad thing to ask by any means. If a store owner gets offended for me just being a smart shopper then I can find another place to visit. That's the best thing about an auction. The price is the price.[/QUOTE]
