<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 994616, member: 26302&quot;]So I went to a local show yesterday with a group of coins in my pocket and more in the car. I was just going to go around and see what dealer prices were on the group I carried with me, and if I liked the price I had more to sell. Maybe this was the wrong tack since I was offered between $1.50 and $1.75 on 40% kennedies I had with me, (about 3 dozen). One dealer offered me $2 in trade, but then when adding them up, (I had some rounds and 90% in there too), shorted me by more than a third. When I went to get them back he had &quot;forgotten&quot; some were behind a display case, (.999 rounds conveniently enough), where I noticed he had put them. I had to point them out and &quot;discuss&quot; whether they were mine or not. I took them to a dealer who had quoted me $1.75, and when he added them up he was only going to pay me $1.50 and less than 11 times face for the 90%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I the problem? To me they all seemed like crooks, and even though a couple of them had some coins I liked I refused to do business with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: It had been a long time since I went to a local show. I was seriously insulted at every turn. I asked to see some Celtic one of the dealers had, and he told me &quot;Well, do you really think you are interested in them, because I don&#039;t want to waste my time. You don&#039;t look like you know anything about them&quot;. This to a 40 year old man, not some kid. I promptly told him my references I used, he offered to show me them and I refused and walked away. Are shows this bad now or was I just having an all around crappy day?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
