Tippet; You got the idea, different specialist will often work them different..some will skew them more than others..buying I do limit orders and let them come to me..( or pass ) Selling I often do limit orders but at the bid.. Options are rough and you will get the short end of the stick if they can help it..so you have to figure on that before you mess with them..you often need a margin more than what it looks like on paper, as they are often thinly traded and when they see your offer or bid can skew the price in second.
