Back to the topic at hand, the scope of what I collect is pretty narrow and focused and I don't hesitate to ask for a price if a dealer does not have posted prices or if a dealer seems to have extra inflated prices. I have almost always found dealers in both instances to be respectful of my counteroffers and have purchased just as much from that style of dealer as dealers who post prices more in line with the current market on their items.

Hi great to hear that you worked a good trade. This was not me, I traded for graded 1956 Ted Williams and Kaline rookie.
How do you do with attendees selling and trading from their briefcases...when I was young dealers paid 50% of book (not a bad business if people are walking in with legends).
Best,
Ed
