Default How do you handle a low ball offer?
Posted By: Tom Boblitt

with dealers at shows too. I NEVER make lowball offers but like to get a card for as little as possible. Generally, when buying a quantity of stuff, I ask if there could be a discount. Some dealers look REALLY offended at the whole prospect but I don't see how you can be on that side of the table and not deal a little bit---hence the name "DEALER". I know it's not "SUCKER" but I think 10-20% off on a large deal is not unheard of. If someone has too much into a card or cards and can't do that, a simple 'No Thanks' as mentioned above or 'I can't do that' works fine instead of getting offended. Quick way to turn off a potential sale or future sales........
