I have had that sort of thing happen at a card show.
Not exactly but sort of. I had a very nice guy come to my table and ask if I would take certain amounts on several cards. And these were individual questions several minutes apart. I finally, being as polite as I could, told him we could do this a different way. How about if he makes an offer it needs to be one that he wants to actually buy the card for, not just to see how low can I go on it? .. I was very polite and smiled..It worked well and he spent somewhere around a grand with me...this was only a few weeks ago at a local show. Sometimes ya' just gotta say WTF, in a conciliatory tone.

If you're at a card show, you walk up to a dealer and say ... "I'm interested in this card" ... and he says "offer me $20" ... and when you offer $20, he says "No I won't accept that - but I will take $40" ... how would you respond?
