I was sitting at a dealers table looking through a box of raw Morgans checking for VAMS. However, in respect of the dealers, the fees they pay for tables and knowing they need to maximize that space just like any other retailer, I take the box and set off to the side (this is a dealer who knows and trusts me) out of the way, not blocking other business because I may be there an hour or longer depending on how much inventory he has new since the last show. My stuff (bags, books, etc) are on the floor. The dealer also knows at any given time if he has another buyer interested in the Morgans he can take the box out of my hands. That&#039;s just the relationship we have. He doesn&#039;t care about me cherry picking VAMs. I respect he&#039;s there to sell. He respects that I&#039;m there to hunt and will not get in the way of him selling. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ON the other hand, another collector walked up, camps out at the vantage point of the table, starts looking at the dealers books of tokens (he usually carries 2-3 notebooks of tokens w/probably 30 pages each notebook). This collector stacks her stuff on top of the display cases, and goes token by token through every single book, writing them down, flipping them upside down in the holder, making a list of type and price. She was literally there 4 hours (I&#039;d since left and passed back by on a few rounds) and only spent $10. During this time she would engage in conversations with other collectors and even referred a couple to her husband ((who was setting behind a table with another dealer across the room)) basically driving business away from the dealer&#039;s table. I was amazed he hadn&#039;t shot her or hit her in the head with a bag of buffalo nickels.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So - this dealer at your show - either he is just a jerk or had just dealt with someone like the token collector and was out of patience. Hard to know w/o being there. Hope you try again somewhere else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
