That said, in a perhaps welcomed twist of fate, someone from Goldin called me today, after reading the forums, and said they would be willing to match the 115% of hammer price for some of my nicer cards in an effort to earn my business. So their rate is definitely more negotiable than I had previously thought, and I can respect someone caring enough to reach out personally. I'm always more inclined to work with someone that wants to earn my business.

I'm more inclined to work with an AH that has earned respect over the long term with collectors in the pre-war hobby and it certainly is not Goldin or PWCC no matter how much step n' fetch it they do to "earn your business".
I've had AH's do me favors and I've done them favors, we both have to make money, that's a given, a good AH relationship goes way beyond that IMHO.
