Some dealers like to Negotiate while(some) others
In Response To: grin My half cent worth... ()

get down right MEAN, at the Riv convention I pulled some chips out of a bargain bin and they were 1.00 over face and I pulled some $1's and $5's and a couple fractionals and they came to $21.25 and I had already handed him a twenty and he announced the total and I asked if 20.00 would do and he was silent and then next thing I knew he throws the chips towards me really hard and they splash into the bin in front of me and that made him really upset and he started mumbling under his breath and I must admit I was totally schocked, had this just happened?? I apologized immedaitely for upsetting him and told him I would never cheat him. He handed my 20.00 bucks back and I gave him $1.25 (the amount I tried to discount) he put it in his pocket but he was still visibly upset by it. I wanted the chips and had he sad a simple No I would have gave him the additional 1.25. Wasnt a big deal but after that if a chip wasnt priced I passed it by. This seller was with a younger women(Grandaughter??) and she had a look on her face like this happens all the time. I never thought anyone would act in this manner over a small amount of $$ but I dont know what kind of day he was having and felt bad for the guy but I dont think I would ever buy from him again either. I really prefer prices on the chips !!
