<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1949060, member: 31533"]Some people are more pleasant to a person once they know the person might be 'useful' to them. But then again, some people are pleasant in incidental places outside their own home or shop but not where they 'rule the roost'. There is a chance this could work but there is also a chance that the owner could just be a horrid person in his own shop. Regardless, the fact is that the owner did not choose to dicker with this person at the show and bought the coins at the price the seller asked for. That is a win situation for the seller at the show, and what does it matter if the person also is known to own a b&m shop where a customer can't 'get a deal' or something else?

And him buying at your price without any questions also just may be an indicator of how he likes to do business.... so why would he lower his prices at his shop? But this answer is a good one, because it gives you an opportunity you didn't have before he bought the coins from you and there is the possibility that he might actually have liked what you had so much that he would be pleasant.
