A dealer calls you with a coin on your want list and offers it to you -
How ridiculous does the price have to be before you cross the threshhold from saying 'no thanks, thats a little more than I wanted to spend' to 'are you out of your frickin' mind?' and genuinely getting PO'd.

So if I'm asked to pay five large for a coin that I figured was worth three, I would probably just say "I'll pass" in case the dealer just bought it for a lot more than I would have.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I'll watch the case and see if the coin moves... if he's sitting on it for a long time, I may go back and see if he's ready to dicker on price yet; but I never get angry or offended.
Honestly, I think some people (this is directed at nobody in particular) are just looking for an excuse to be unhappy.
