Re: How do you handle hagglers at shows?

A dealer friend years ago told me when offered a good deal, keep your poker face, keep your mouth shut, and just say that works. Don’t dicker, don’t gloat, just pay and move on.
A couple of months ago, I had an offer on an eBay lot that included a bunch of silver coins where I never updated the price after the recent runup in silver. It wasn't originally figured as a bullion lot, and I overlooked it. There was about $125 melt value in the lot, my listed price was $50 and the prospective buyer offered $30. I raised the price and declined the offer. The prospective buyer messaged me and asked if he could buy for the previously listed price. Sorry, no.

Re: How to value an MS67+ 1882-S Morgan Dollar
@cinque1543 said:
I'm looking for some guidance and education. I don't buy coins on eBay, but I'll use this 1882-S dollar as an example: eBay LinkThe coin is an 1882-S Morgan dollar in MS67+ condition, graded by PCGS and green-stickered by CAC. The asking price is $2728. There is only one other coin of this year and grade currently on eBay, which is listed at $2640.
Looking at the price guide on the PCGS website, I see several sales of MS67+ Morgans in 2025 (none in 2026) ranging from $1200 to $2115. The NGC website shows one sale of a MS67+ Morgan in 2026 (none in 2025) at a price of $1200. As far as I can tell, the PCGS and NGC websites do not indicate whether a coin is green-stickered by CAC, so the prices do not necessarily reflect an apples-to-apples comparison. On the eBay website, however, when I select "Sold Items", one sale of an PCGS MS67+ green-snickered Morgan appears in 2026 at $2184.
So, based on the above information, if I saw the eBay coin at a coin show, I would probably conclude that at $2728, it was priced at the high end. But what else should I be doing to assess the fair value of this coin? If you were interested in this coin, what would you consider to be a fair price, and why?
There are some sellers who ask "all the money" for their stuff. I have never dealt with that particular seller. Are his other items priced reasonable or are they on the high side?
