There is a reason why coin displays at shows do not gather the crowds the bourse does, people wish to BUY coins, not just look at them.

Sure I have to be patient, but by gosh the coin is supposed to be there, ready to sell, no questions asked. If I ever won an auction on Ebay from such a dealer and got a "sorry it was already sold on my website" message, yeah, I would be HOT! Hopefully that never will happen, since I am pretty sure Doug would be giving me a vacation from CT for a bit. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
