[QUOTE="costello, post: 1678513, member: 42025"]I'd like some advice concerning this topic but from another direction. What do you do when you're a customer waiting to look at coins and the person in front of you is taking forever? I was at a show with my four year old. We found a table with a book filled with everything we wanted: circulated pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. A woman was bent over the book and she looked like she was inspecting each piece with the utmost scrutiny. We stood to the side, feet away from her, waiting. After a few minutes we left, checked out a few tables, and we even purchased some 10 for $1 world coins. We went back to the table and she was still there. We left, I found a silver chinese panda I wanted, and after purchasing it, went back to the table and she was still there. She must've been there for an hour. We gave up and went home. She had a small stack of coins pulled from the album, so she was definitely a paying customer, but what would you have done in my case?[/QUOTE]
