I know if someone would have no more time for me all because I asked for a measly dollar off the agreed price, I would have no more time for them.


If it is just a measly dollar why keep trying to change the deal and nickel and dime a seller like that? If you were the one selling you would run short on time very quickly for people who keep trying to get more and more and more off the price no matter what the agreement was.

Not sure how long you have been collecting, but everyone is pointing this out to you because you will quickly find that most sellers in this hobby will not deal with buyers who think that is okay.

As Coinfrog mentioned if you did that at a store you'd likely be asked to leave, if you did that at a coin show word would spread and you'd quickly find yourself being ignored by sellers.

So you then backed out of the deal after asking for one more dollar off and he accepted? Better check to see if that phone number is a valid one.


I never said he accepted one more dollar off, and his phone number is valid. I explained that at the moment I cannot pick up the dollars so he should try to sell them to somebody else and he understands.

Silver4Face, suggest you rethink your strategy before pulling that stunt at a coin store or show.


Yeah I should never again go back on my word and haggle down by 100 pennies. That dealer might go broke.

I was not going to attempt to keep going down further than $54 if that's what you are implying. I knew what I was doing.

I only run short on time for dealers/sellers who are condescending toward me. I've run into several of those in my day and it's NOT because of my attitude or how I haggle with them. I always treat people with the utmost respect.

I appreciate the feedback and understand where you are coming from, but I can assure you that my intentions were and are good.

If someone doesn't/can't sell to me, then I go to another person. I don't haggle at coin stores like that. I rarely go to them now anyways, mostly because I don't buy coins that much anymore, and I've had plenty of bad experiences with coin dealers who seemingly have no respect for the history of coins.

When a thread devolves into a member having to defend themselves instead of discussing a coin - right or not - it's time for that thread to close.
