<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 3040208, member: 20480&quot;]While I see this behavior pretty regularly, I cannot say I have noticed an increase lately.&nbsp; Buyers who do this have probably conducted themselves this way all their lives, and are likely unaware of how others are affected by their approach.&nbsp; It seems a minority of buyers just lack common courtesy, and those tiger&#039;s stripes are not likely to change.&nbsp; I seldom forget such abandonment of communication, and am less likely to take seriously any future inquiries from them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I get this a lot.&nbsp; Some may ask for your best price because they do not want to be seen as low-balling, and prefer to hear your offer first, hoping it will be irresistably low.&nbsp; Some of the more aggressive buyers may even view your best offer as their starting point for negotiation.&nbsp; I tend to ignore such efforts.&nbsp; A truly desirable coin should have many suitors, and reasonable prices for such coins need not be slashed to make a sale.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I either buy a coin as priced to me or not, and try not to bring up the fact that I am a dealer.&nbsp; It just sounds kind of cheesy saying, &quot;I&#039;m a dealer, so I need a lower price&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are exceptions, of course.&nbsp; Just this past month, I reminded a western dealer that I&#039;d wholesaled coins to them in years past, and was hoping they would reciprocate on a coin I wanted for a customer.&nbsp; That&#039;s a bit different situation, in that I&#039;d already sold coins to them at levels required for them to make a profit, establishing a wholesale relationship.&nbsp; Once they recalled our transactions, they gladly accommodated me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
