<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1868908, member: 58810&quot;]Yeah pretty much everything you did. Multiple returns. Acting like you are buying a new car and not a $70 coin. If you are this concerned buy from eBay slabbed coins or even apmex.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no problem with the concept of haggling. When I go to Vegas coin shows and sell to the dealers I have to give a price first and&nbsp; sometimes I&#039;m firm and sometimes not. I don&#039;t expect dealers to always pay my asking price. I always listen to counters. I&#039;m never offended. Business is business. And I disagree with Doug about negotiating. When I&#039;m at a show I&#039;m not there to make friends. I have never had anyone tell me they were offended or refuse to do business with me for counter offering. I have never had someone pull a coin back and raise the price on me for countering.&nbsp; As long as you keep it professional, not complain or make uncalled for remarks most dealers won&#039;t mind and if they do it&#039;s their issue. Every non bullion coin at a show is a negotiable event and every dealer should expect a little countering. They might never accept a counter but at a show they expect to be asked in my opinion. Kind of like the cocktail girls serving drinks at casinos. It is considered rude to make crass remarks to the girls about their good looks&nbsp; but they expect it day in and out. They don&#039;t take home every guy commenting on their bust size but they don&#039;t lose sleep over the &quot;counters&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But I have had multiple events where I did counter on something and got a better price. I even freaked my wife out by haggling in one of the high end malls in Vegas for my watch (fashion show mall) And I got it for my counter. My wife walked away from me in shame but freaked out when they took my offer (80% list cash right there and now) and told them not to encourage me.&nbsp; Saved me $200. I remember going to Tijuana when I was 12. Everything was $30 until you started to walk away. Then prices changed. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside the walk away counter I have found is the most effective. Act interested then waiver. Start to walk away. If they don&#039;t give you a chasing offer you can always come back later without an issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
