<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 746157, member: 16060"]First, I don't think the real world of buy and sell quite work this idealistically for far more than just the coin market BNB. Second, I'm sure there are disenchanted dealers in regards to buyers trying to low ball everything. They have to deal with it, they chose to be in the business. I would think most dealers would offer a better price to a good customer rather than a casual customer. Let's use Lehigh for an example (hope you don't mind Lehigh) and I'm a coin dealer. He has been a long term faithful customer buying my more high end coins, and I have learned over the course of time he lives 10 miles from my shop with others closer. This customer I want to keep much more than someone who comes in once or twice a year.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you go into Target or Best Buy you either accept their price or go somewhere else. Plus the sales staff have no idea and don't care if you spent two dollars or two thousand dollars there last week. Off the top of my head cars and coins are about the last two items where we can make offers and counter offers. You go to a dealer, you think it is too high make an offer. If accepted fine, if not move on or reconsider if you want to go higher. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your scenario could also be that you want to pay dealers a certain percentage over their asking price so they would start feeling better about their customers after awhile lowering their prices. I know this is ridiculous, but to me this is just the same practically just turned around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
