As others have said, comps are very useful - as a starting point. I don't usually throw them in someone's face, but like to educate myself on how wildly overpriced the card actually is. Is it 30% overpriced, which is fairly common, or more like 60-70%. No dealer is going to fall to his knees and apologize over his pricing when you start telling him about comps. He knows full well how out of whack the price is. And is starting the game high. I usually open some negotiation and if it's clear its going nowhere just move in and save my breath.
And I don't usually start searching for comps standing in front of a table. Thaty's not helpful for anyone. Walk away, sit down with a drink at a table, do a little research. Return tio table if you think it's worth it.
Lots of dealers are praying for the combination of uninformed and flush with cash. If you spend sometime with comps at least you will have a few data points to begin an intelligent discussion.
