<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 828639, member: 4552&quot;]Another observation I&#039;ve made over the years is the ability to haggle, chew down prices at a coin show or anywhere. At large coin shows the haggling down of prices is really tuff. Dealers really don&#039;t see a great advantage in allowing you any great discount since they well know they probably will never see you again. Naturally haggling in a coin store too is difficult due to all the overhead that must be paid for from the profits of coin sales. </p><p>And again, the larger the coin show, the least flexibility in a dealers pricing. A drop in 5 to 10 % on any sale is possible but not often. Too this depends on the amount of people roaming around in the show. A dealer knows if you don&#039;t buy it, one of those others may so why lower the price for you. </p><p>Again, at smaller coin shows a dealer can easily see just how many possible customers are there already and full well know a sale is much better than none. Of course this works two ways. Many dealers at smaller shows raise their prices substancially knowing most will try to haggle the prices down anyway. </p><p>All in all, regardless of the show, over the years of attending some really big shows, some rather medium sized shows and many really small shows, I don&#039;t see any comparisons. The smaller the show, the better the deals. The larger the show, the higher the prices. </p><p>AND, if you have to throw in parking fees and admittance fees, add that to the cost of your coins. Great example is at the Rosemont Convention Center to park for a coin show is $11 and $5 to get in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
