<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TopcatCoin, post: 1870120, member: 22746&quot;]Here are some scenarios I have seen at coin shows when asking a dealer for a price:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; The dealer gives a price off the top of his head without even looking too closely at the coin.&nbsp; It is usually fair, and if I like/want it, I will typically buy it with no haggling.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The dealer either looks at the price on a sheet of paper behind the table or at a code or perhaps a price on the back of the 2x2 and gives you a number.&nbsp; I typically find these prices high and negotiable.&nbsp; They now know exactly how much they are into a coin, and you can haggle to get a better deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. The coins are all not marked with a code/price.&nbsp; You ask the dealer for a price even for his/her best price.&nbsp; They then pull out the Red Book.&nbsp; I say thanks, have a nice day, and move on.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug is right.&nbsp; You have to do your homework before the show or bring some resources with you to know what a fair price is for you at that moment.&nbsp; Fair price is going to vary from dealer to dealer.&nbsp; TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
