Reply to "Negotiating Prices at Train Shows"

I almost always negotiate on purchases at train shows and of course garage sales.

My MO is to buy used, or distressed trains, accessories or what ever.  I have only bought one new engine and maybe a couple of new cars in 40 years.  I love to hit the junk boxes usually under the tables or on the floor.  I have bought engines missing wheels, wheel gears, missing a corner of the cab etc.  Things I can fix or patch up. 

I am not into new and shinny, in boxes, or latest as I like post war O gauge.  I get most at a low fair price for the condition and will usually ask for a price lower than marked.  Like many others, I do not have to have any train or train item.  There is always another train show or deal on eBay or one I can maybe build.
