    Of course!! I always get along well with women ....but then I have the confidence to manipulate them into better prices ( of course their significant other usually say to them "DON"T SELL anything without my permission").

    " Here hold this DMPL morgan up to your wonderous blue eyes so I can see deep into it and your soul.....10% back on the price, hmmmmm" :)

    I couldn't care less if you had a chorus line at your table. I'm interested in coins, not distractions when I'm in shopping/browsing mode.

    Very true.
    At times it can even be a turn off to buyers to have a booth-babe.
    I work within the death care world and we attended the 2nd largest state convention early this year. At this show was over 125 booths....as I waited on the convention floor to open I walked around and talked with other vendors. Out of all of those people ONE booth had a chick in their booths dressed to draw people. It didn't work. In fact, they closed up a day early.
    Sometimes showing too much can backfire. They had a great product. She KNEW the product. She was friendly, but not overly so. Their product filled a need, and fixed a problem many have/had. But they didn't have the traffic that other booths had.

    Our booth wasn't as busy as some, but the people had respect checked out our product because we were dressed, and were professional. Before you staff your booth with booth-babes, do the research on your market....often you will find that it is a turn off, and will only hurt you.

    I'm way to old to even think about that stuff anymore. Of course there are elderly men that still think about that stuff, but after several operations for cancer I've lost a lot of those desires so any lady at a coin show is just a female to me. And from the ones that are there at any coin shows I've been to, any female that is even average in appearance would stand out.
    Same at gun shows, computer shows, knife shows around here. Just no such thing now. And from the appearance of most of the men at coin shows I don't think any out of the ordinary female would make a difference.

    I don't think it will hurt your traffic. A few dozen donuts might also attract a crowd and promote good will. Sex does sell at trade shows I used to attend, but that was the outdoor sporting goods industry. Has anyone ever been to the SHOT show in Vegas?

    Like I said---know, and research your market. At a gun/hunting show I would almost expect to see some "hot clicks" used to draw people, but at a coin show I would doubt it.
    Either way--I went alittle off topic and I'm sorry....back to my corner.

    I think I came across wrong in the initial post. This not something I am actually considering .My question was more hypothetical than anything.
    And from Frank & coinfreaks. Remarks I'm now sure I wouldn't want to have my wife with me.:D

    I have been to gun shows and there is something about a lady in cameo flak vest with a H & K in a shoulder rig :)

    But if all fails, a jelly filled will do. One of my favorite coin shows is in a masonic lodge and the homemade pies the masonic ladies bake are out of the world.

    I don't know about you folks, but I am lucky. I am allowed to look at the menu as long as my meals stay at home.

    PCGS, Heritage, many of the dealers have attractive women. It makes the coin show a nicer place, and makes no differance in my buying decisions whatsoever.

    Learn to multitask guys, geez........

    too hot of ladies will scare away nerd types, guys who bring their own ladies and shy guys. May I suggest the hot librarian look? Subtle, classy, smart and not intimidating.

    you keep saying pcgs girls but there are no pics so its like saying you saw a 1964 peace but no evidence. somehow coming from you a 1964 peace would be more believable :)
