<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 7835225, member: 59677&quot;]When shows ran to Sunday and everyone left early, the excuse was &quot;well, they need to be back at the shop on Monday.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact is that a large segment of dealers show up to buy &amp; sell at wholesale. ONLY.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of them don&#039;t even bother to set anything out for the retail trade. They did their business during Monday&#039;s dealer day and Tuesday PM, Wednesday AM with dealers who didn&#039;t come in for Monday. They packed up and were gone Thursday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, you can&#039;t split the room into a retail side and a wholesale-only side without getting into the debate over who is a coin dealer? Does that include the &quot;vest pocket&quot; dealer without a table who is roaming the floor with a roller board and 1/2 million in inventory? (yes, he has an EIN, he&#039;s an LLC and he&#039;s the scout who feeds a lot of inventory to dealers facing the retail trade, no, he doesn&#039;t have a shop - but if you exclude him, several of the &quot;real dealers&quot; won&#039;t show up).</p><p><br /></p><p>What about a &quot;real&quot; dealer who has his half-million in inventory moved by Brinks. They pick up at 11 am Friday or you pay DOUBLE for a Saturday AM pickup and TRIPLE for Sunday...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
