<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 1143983, member: 29452"]I arrived yesterday around 12:30 We parked in the hotel parking connected to the convention center. It was very convenient and not a far walk at all. Most the people were very nice, but sometimes when we'd stop off at a booth the dealers were less then friendly and completely ignored my party and I. One dealer was busy on the phone, the other person behind the counter was saying nothing. No "one moment sir i'll be right with you." I asked the lady if she could help, and she said "oh no, THAT'S the owner im just here." This gentleman had some great coins but he kept yapping on the phone, laughing and carrying on. It's not like he didn't know I was there. I was just ignored. Is it common to be ignored at coin shows like this? Was I dressed wrong? Other booths I'd go by and look at it was the same thing. You'd walk up, take a look, and be ignored. Now the upside was the dealers whom I did meet and did take the time to answer any questions I thank and they have my business. I'll be going back, but I wish the people were a bit friendlier. That is my only complaint. Other than that 90% of the experience was great. I hope that gentlemans phone call made him a lot of money. He could have had a great customer. I know everyone can't be pleased, but to be outright ignored when they know you're patiently waiting is not professional.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
