How much wiggle room do I have on something like the price of a gun? I found one pawn and gun shop that doesn't have the gun I want but can order it just doesn't know how long it would be. Found a place that has the gun I want but is about $50 more than the price given to me by another pawn shop. I told the guy I have some silver coins that I'd be willing to part with and he said bring em in and we can work something out....
 
I know if you pay cash they will work with you a good bit. The last one I bought they knocked off right around $65 for cash.
 
One of my best buddies owns a pawn shop. His rule of thumb is.. He buys it for a quarter of it's worth and sales it for as much as he can get.(but generally prices stuff at 50% to 70% of its real value) All prices are negotiable with cash.

Just don't expect to get what you think the coins are worth, even on trade. If you think they're worth 100..expect 25 or less.
 
Most gun dealers won't have a problem doing cost + %10, atleast on ordered guns. Did you ever get a purchase permit? Why not just order from buds guns.
