<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snaz, post: 733870, member: 11315&quot;]Well, shortly after the first antique show I set up at, I told everyone I was going to write a little thread about it.. I don&#039;t think I ever did...</p><p>Well, now I am 4 days away from setting up a second time. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will be setting up at a town about 3 hours away in Fort St John, British Columbia. I will advertise just as I did the first time, and offer Canadian and American coins, both slabbed and raw, as well as a few complete sets, and semi key - key coins. I will set up a bigger &quot;recession bin&quot; (as I&#039;ve seen it called here before) and I will carry more stock of newer coins, both from the mint and provincial quarters, and all the other crazy quarter designs.</p><p>As much as I can&#039;t stand buying modern coinage, I realized at the last show that it was something I need to stock more of. Because to put it bluntly. &quot;That stuff sells fast!&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will have my camera there, and will offer to take photos of peoples coins for 2 dollars a coin, and I will edit the pictures or them and email them J-Pegs. I&#039;m excited about this show more then the first one, because now I know what to expect and I have cheesy business cards with my name, and email addresses.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am excited to see what sells most at this show, last time it was modern coinage, silver, and half dollars.</p><p>These are just antique shows, and I was the only coin guy at the last show, and I have a feeling I&#039;ll be the only one at this one as well. But I do know a few guys I sell to online up there so I know there are more collectors there, then here.</p><p>This time I bought some more flips, silver, more common date stuff in varying grades, and key date coppers more in preparing for the show then I did last time, so I have MUCH more inventory, and alot more common date hole fillers.</p><p>Oh.. and I bought one of those swivel lamps all the dealers have at shows! :high5:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It&#039;s been a real blessing this last week, my calender has been packed with collections to look at, buy, and collecting peoples want lists. My phone is finally ringing from people I don&#039;t know, regarding coins.</p><p>The closest coin shop is 5 hours away in Edmonton Alberta so people here are starved of any numismatics, so I seem to be a breath of fresh air to people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
