<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1744167, member: 22004&quot;]Coin Shows are a two-way in terms of etiquette, both dealer and collector have a responsibility to maintain civility.My experiences at a coin show last week were generally positive.&nbsp; It was good to see dealers that I know. I did business with the ones who accurately grade coins, who do a lot of business buying and selling at reasonable levels.One difficult dealer stood out as someone I am unlikely to do business with in the future.&nbsp; He insisted on cash and a price level one or two grades above current market.&nbsp; I felt somewhat obligated to do business with him because I had looked through a lot of his material. When I paid him partially, he had added on a significant sum to both coins, different than what he had originally quoted.&nbsp; His associate backed him up and inferred that I was somehow taking advantage--gee I wonder who was taking advantage of whom in this dog and pony show?&nbsp; Finally after coming back with the cash balance, he offered a bunch of other coins that he said could be paid for with a &quot;layaway&quot;.&nbsp; Unethical dealers should be reported to the show manager.&nbsp; If he/she gets enough complaints they may do something.&nbsp; Anything illegal needs to be reported to the desk sergeant at the local police department.&nbsp; It is unlikely they will do anything, but at least they will have a record for future reference.&nbsp; Often times they have access to rap sheets on people with a record.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
