I would have just gone on my way as I doubt you would really have any chance of him raising his offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I&#039;m sure there are exceptions but I don&#039;t really think of flea market coin sellers as &quot;dealers&quot;. They pick stuff up cheap and try to sell at a profit. Most coins I&#039;ve ever seen at such venues were overgraded garbage for the most part. Big reason is that these people are there to make a living selling whatever they can. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin dealers show up more at coin shows and coin shops. That&#039;s my experience in my neck of the woods.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I sell a coin I look for someone that wants the coin not an article for them to make a buck on. You might have a better chance trading coins with this guy than selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hey, I&#039;ve known my local dealer for about 15 years and I rarely sell to him. We&#039;re good friends but believe me that does not stop him from running a business for a profit. If it&#039;s something he doesn&#039;t particularly need he&#039;ll low ball me every time. If he REALLY needs it then I get good money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Getting a dealer to drop prices when selling is easier if they want the money. Getting them to make a better offer is much harder as it&#039;s money out of pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simple economics but I agree that they don&#039;t have to be rude.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
