<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2613998, member: 76194&quot;]The Indo-scythian drachm and Gordian III denarius I bought for $150 total, and could have probably been purchased for $25 less had I been bidding at an auction such as Agora, or even JA&#039;s. And that&#039;s after getting the dealers to knock off about 20-30% off their asking prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I think shows like this will eventually die. It costs dealers a lot have to travel from California or New York or wherever, then pay for a table, and pay for a hotel, and try to pass the cost on to suckers (I mean...show attendees) in the form of grossly overpriced coins. It&#039;s a lot simpler having a website and selling these coins online on vcoins, Ebay, their own websites, etc. It translates to less overheads and more profits for the dealers, and cheaper coins for the consumers. Shows are nice to see the coin porn, but not so much to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
