[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 653021, member: 15199"]1. Hi, are you buying from the public today? ...............usually always "yes" is the answer, who knows what might walk in :) 2. I have a XXXXXXXXXX coin here and I am asking $xxxx, but I am willing to negotiate. ( usually use about 20-30% higher than I will really take, unless a PCGS or NCG coin, and then closer to CDN prices). 3. If they look at it and say not interested, move on as if it is a negotiating techinique, they will call you back. If they would only be interested in much less or think the coin has problems, they will let you walk on. 4. If they are willing to negotiate, do so in good faith, don't waste their time or yours. Don't argue their grading. Say what you think/know it is and negotiate from that point. If they seem resistant to spending cash, I usually say I am interested in BU lincolns, wheats,rolls. Errors, or eclectic oddities, what do you have for trading? If you can get what you want with no cash changes hands, it is usually a good deal for both. I really use the term "oddball" rather than eclectic most of the time :o 5. Remain respectful, even if they are not. Often this ( unfortunately) is a bargaining technique for some. Don't compromise your own values for a good deal. At least this is how I usually do it. Jim[/QUOTE]
