<p>[QUOTE=&quot;manny9655, post: 8222810, member: 112417&quot;]I purchase coins both at the local once-a-month shows and over the internet.&nbsp; Usually my internet purchases are $1 or $2 face value of junk silver.&nbsp; But lately, I&#039;ve been curtailing my internet purchases.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because the shipping costs have become ridiculous.&nbsp; Why should I spend $7 or $8 (or more) on shipping a small amount of coins when I can buy the same coins at shows and not pay shipping?&nbsp; (I can buy another pretty decent coin for that shipping cost!)&nbsp; Usually at shows I will spend between $50 and $100, maybe a little more if I see something I really want.&nbsp; Besides, I&#039;d rather support the more local dealers who are just trying to make a living over some of the mega dealers on the &#039;net.&nbsp; What say you, CoinTalk members?&nbsp; Are you buying less on the internet because of shipping costs?&nbsp; And BTW, the attendance at shows in my area has been very good.&nbsp; At the last show I attended, earlier this month, the parking lot at the venue was JAMMED.&nbsp; I think that bodes well.&nbsp; And I saw some young people there, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
