Re: dealer's mentality
If you're patient, you will, in most cases, eventually get what you want at a reasonable price. The Chase Field Team Shop had a brown 2004 Brent Mayne Louisville Slugger that I really wanted, priced at $125, for several years, and would never come down on the price. A couple of times, I almost gave in and paid it, but I couldn't believe it was the only one floating around out there. Then last year, I picked up an almost identical bat at Fan Fest for 40 bucks, and this year I got a natural wood Mayne bat at Fan Fest for 20. If you collect a lot of common players, often it's just a matter of biding your time.
