Reply to "Negotiating Prices at Train Shows"

While at train shows, just showing an interest in an item, the seller usually says he can do better. I usually don't have to make an offer first. 

On ebay, I have found items where the price is good but the shipping is out-of-whack. I'll contact the seller with an agreement to buy if the shipping is lowered and I include my zip code. It has worked a couple times.

This happens to me most of the time at a swap meet.....I don’t even have to open my mouth....they usually start dropping on their own...I just follow them down to see how low  the elevator will go...sometimes they’re married to stuff, other times they’re dumping it.....you just never know....there’s no harm in taking their temperature and seeing where it goes from there...be polite, that’s the easiest way to a dialogue....if they don’t want to deal, I thank them for their time, wish them the best, shake their hand and move on.....Pat
