I don't often share my personal opinions about anyone in the MoPo family...
But doesn't Franc have a sparkling personality?

Hey. if you're going to only spend 25 bucks at a collectible fare
you hold dear to your heart give a dealer a break and don't haggle to save 2
bucks and don't waste his time. That's just plain cheap. FRANC

Well, forgive me for being completely out-of-touch with the
lifestyles of the rich and famous....
I didn't realize it was "poor form" to try to get a better
deal. I also didn't know there was a dollar threshold that makes haggling
"acceptable." From what other dealers have told me they DO build wiggle room
into all prices--even on the less pricey items--knowing people like to
bargain.
I'm certainly out of my league with you guys. (read high
rollers)
...and we wonder why we can't get younger (read that, less
financially solvent) people interested in our hobby...
Sheesh, Franc you certainly have a knack for always saying
just the right thing. I wanna party with you.

I feel the same way, except my number is $10,000. I
can't imagine someone haggling over $100, but that's just me.

I don't haggle unless I'm spending at least $100 at
someone's table. I just think it's poor form. FRANC

I must have just been unlucky that the
dealers having what I wanted to buy wouldn't haggle. I thought it odd since
it had NEVER happened before. As Rich pointed out, he would have
haggled...but alas, no items caught my eye on his table. Maybe next year
Rich!
Personally I don't think it's out-of-line to
offer 20 bucks for something marked $25. One would assume that dealers build
in a bit of wiggle room since bargaining seems commonplace, if not expected.

Dealers must have known that I was upset by
te smelly rooms, so they treated me kindly allowed me to haggle. I didn;t
notice any difference this year in connection with the pricing and the
bargaining. Volume is the key. I personally get pissed off when someone
wants to buy one $25 item and offers me $20 or even $23. FRANC
