<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1336744, member: 15199"]If there is a chance this might be a good source, act ethical and professional as you know what you are doing. Haggling doesn't do that at first. Give him a price and contact info, and say if I haven't bought another one, we have a deal. Write down the coin ID#, and say thanks. Haggling indicates you are unsure of the price for your use. Staying with a set price, shows you know pricing and coins. Eventually, unless he thinks he is a coin grader and expert, he will start to trust your opinions. I am often ask to evaluate a local shops incoming, and I give a fair price I will pay and why, and let it go. Often they think they can do better, and if they do, congratulations to them. If not, they have my offer, and I will either take it or decline ( I may already found other), I won't haqgle past the first offer as that doesn't show respect and professionalism. These shops think everyone is trying to cheat them and maybe so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
