<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 2011258, member: 36248&quot;]Well, this may not be feasible for single person coin booths, but technically if done correctly, buying and selling while at the show would not negatively affect the list at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why you ask?&nbsp;&nbsp; because a dealer who maintains an electronic database of coins would simply click a button to mark a coin &quot;sold&quot;, &quot;hold&quot;, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; With a bit more effort, a dealer adds the new coins purchased while at the show.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If properly setup before hand, this record keeping system should take no more than 60 seconds per new coin, and anyone with internet access would have up-to-the-second &quot;list&quot; of coins on the floor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I don&#039;t understand how dealers with thousands of coins do it any other way.&nbsp; How does a dealer know if a coin was stolen, or when it was sold, or for how much, without a database tracking everything?&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Hand written Paper receipts?&nbsp;&nbsp; Wow, that takes a lot longer than what I am talking about, and it cant be searched, or indexed, or tied to a system that the OP is asking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that coin shows should have a theme of discovery and adventure, but really for people who want to be more methodical about their shopping, an electronic &quot;list&quot; type system really ought to be implemented by the larger dealers at the larger shows, IMHO.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I know I would use it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
