I realize coins are much more complex but that does not take away the right for the buyer to be educated regardless of how many times they have dealt with a specific dealer before.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black">Generally my bartering consists of selecting a group of coins as asking “what does he want for them”.&nbsp; I have already calculated a number in my head based on what I think the market price is and how desirable the coins are.&nbsp; If he comes close - the deal is done, if not - I may narrow it down to a specific coin I really want and ask the same question, if that price isn’t close - we are done and I move on.&nbsp; Most of the time on the second round the dealer gives me a fair price on the coin I want and makes a second offer on the group.&nbsp; Again – deal is generally done and we are both happy.&nbsp; I don’t go through all the trouble of picking out a group of coins not to spend some money – but I want them at a fair price regardless of how well I know the dealer and if he even treats me even a little disrespectfully - I will gladly spend my money somewhere else.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
