[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 67494, member: 301"]Clutter and I had a misunderstanding . I used a low ball number ( in a what if , to Trislo) that irritated an already bad day she was having. She suggested that real life event that I had was caused by my low balling a dealer in the same fashion. I explained that it wasn't the case. We worked it out ! ( I should or could have used a higher number in my suggestion to Trislo , but the point was to start negotiations low enough so that the final result was acceptable to both parties. If you start an offer at the most you'll pay, there's no room to counter a come back offer from the dealer.) Read the back and forth . BTW.... suggesting that someone try a roller coaster , when they're looking for a thrill, in no way means that I have to like roller coasters , or that I have even ever sat in one.. & one more thing. Not long ago I was at an antique show. The dealer had a NA basket. I could see right off that it was out of place with the rest of his items. Long story short .....he had paid $100 , & after I gave him my professional opinion on the item he asked what it's value was. I told him I could buy this type on eBay all day at $35 to $50 ....and offered him $35......He took it ...he wasn't happy that he over paid for it .....but he wasn't insulted by me either ! The next day I sold him 3 silver items...& he got the better of me ![/QUOTE]
