You have to ask prices at shows and it helps if they know who you are. Dealers will get one price, sophisticated collectors another, and the uninitiated public, a third. I find that on high end items, if I am seriously considering it, I will ask what is your best price. Then its yes or no.

Now the junk silver thing is one a lot of us smaller dealers do. You can buy rolls of junk silver and pick out the better coins and sell them at greysheet bid for the grade/date. I can get $15 for many of the halves I get at $7 per, but you have to be patient and show a lot of coins. There are people that collect date runs of these things and they do not want to buy a roll of them.

From my limited experience, I've found better prices at shows in general than at my LCS because I have more bargaining power. It seems that I've gotten better prices at larger shows due to the competition because it's much easier for me to walk away and find another similar deal. Of course it varies from dealer to dealer, as some price items too high for me to even bother haggling.
