Personally I do not make offers unless there is a stated price, then, I may ask for maybe a 10% discount. This is my prerogative, my right.

I had a bad experience with a dealer. Not anyone who advertises here. I find it foolish that this dealer chose to antagonize someone who buys as many high end expensive pieces as I do. But he did. His mistake. I will not buy from him again. I do not make offers. But this is just me, because I had a bad experience with one person.

I see no reason as to why a seller has a "make offers", BUT if that is how they want to handle their business, that is up to them. Their right, and I think it is very much amiss (and against the overall tone of this fine Forum) that these sellers be criticized for their business policy.

Obviously this method of sales works for them.

Personally as the original poster of this thread, I think it has said about all it needs to say -- and too much more -- and I would suggest that David and his friends close it.

80 posts on this subject are enough.

I am not concerned about the tone but what some people try to do in this thread that is what we should be not forget .

I think anyone should be able to choose offer or no offer .

Indeed time to close this thread, Bill.

Moderators, please........

I ALSO AGREE JUST ABOUT ALL THAT CAN BE SAID HAS BEEN SAID.

BUT :D :D :D :p
THIS TOPIC GIVES YOU SOME IDEAS OF THE OPINIONS AND THE DIFERENCES AMOUNG COLLECTORS, SELLERS AND SELLER-COLLECTORS. WE ARE ALL ALIKE IN SOME WAYS OF THINKING AND DIFFERENT IN OTHERS, WE ARE A GROUP FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT COUNTRYS, BACKGROUNDS, RACES, LEVELS OF EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC ABILITYS THIS ALSO INFLUENCES OUR WAYS OF THINKING. BUT REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FORUM.
WE ALL LOVE A GOOD DEAL AND HATE TO GET TAKEN. SOME ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE MONEY MAKEING END OF COLLECTING AND SOME ARE. IT IS A KIND OF WAY OF KEEPING SCORE AND IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR US ALL TO MAKE MONEY ON OUR ITEMS WHEN WE SELL THAN TO LOSE. I AM NOT GOOD AT MARKET VALUES SO I HESITATE TO MAKE BLIND OFFERS OR TO TAKE OFFERS THAT ALSO MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TRADE IF I SEE A PRICE I CAN AFFORD I JUMP IN IF IT IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE I GO GET A DRINK :D .
I DON'T THINK THIS POST STARTED TO CRITISIZE A SELLER BUT TO ASK A QUESTION SO IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AN ATTACK BY ANYONE AND THINGS HAVE BEEN LEARNED FROM IT SO IT WAS WORTH DOING.
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES AND PERSONALITYS AND SOME OF US WILL NATURALLY RUB THE OTHERS THE WRONG WAY AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND ARGUMENTS WILL HAPPEN BUT THEY DON'T NEED TO CARRY OVER INTO THE FORUM. I AM SURE SOME DON'T LIKE MY USE OF ALL CAP'S OR PHILOSOPHY WHEN I HAVE NO DEGREE, BUT I CAN BE SERIOUS AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME :p

MY PERSONEL CONSENSIS: NO NEW FORUM RULES NEED BE DRAWN UP, IF DEALERS WANT TO SELL OR SWAP THEIR ITEMS ITS OK. PRICES OR NOT. THERE IS NO SHAME IN COMMING DOWN ON YOUR FIRST POSTED PRICE IF YOU GET NO OFFERS :cool: IF A SELLER JUST ADVERTIZES HIS AUCTIONS OR STORE HE MAY GET SOME BUSINESS IF HIS STOCK IS WORTHY OTHERWISE HE IS WASTEING HIS TIME ON OUR SWAP FORUM. DID I MISS ANYTHING ;)
