Default Which would you prefer at a show?

A dealer who has firm "sticker prices" or no stickers and a dealer willing to negotiate?

I only ask because even though I am like bargaining for cards if there is no starting point on an item that I know less about then I am nervous to make an offer.

I also hate the "price is on the sticker" answer as well.

I don't mind a sticker, in reality what it says has little to no bearing on what I am willing to pay.

However it does tell me alot about where their head is at, or stuck for that matter in some instances.

I want a price visible. I will often move on unless the item is truly rare.

It's kind of a bummer when I look at a dealer's case and he has more than a few cards I am interested in and I have to ask where he is at on each one when a sticker isn't there. Then again, maybe they aren't priced so the dealer forces a prospective buyer into conversation. I prefer the sticker for sure.

Best,

Andy

I also prefer to see a price. However, if it is a card I'm really interested in, I will ask the price before making any offer. I just don't feel I should need to hunt down the dealer or feel like I'm inconveniencing them to find out the price. Also, if it is a card from a set I'm not actively collecting, I won't bother asking for a price. But if the price is on the card and reasonable, I might consider it.

99% of the time, if I see no stickers I keep walking.
