Gentlemen,

I think vendors run the full spectrum, as David says some will not change, others wheel and deal all the time. I agree with Popi open your mouth and talk to the individual Vendors, you will be able to tell right away if they are open to a deal, or if they are set in stone. However you also must use your head, if you are trying to negotiate price. In my latest purchase from Rocky Mountaineer (David), I decided not to make a counter offer on the Scale JLC TMC GG1, because I honestly believe David was already at his lowest sale price. IMO the Scale TMCC Brunswick Green PRR one Striper with minimal hours was worth even more money than David was actually asking, so I did not have my heart in trying to negotiate the price down any further. Further I do a lot of horse trading especially with the Tin Plate Vendors, definitely ask negotiate if you can.
