<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1384243, member: 15929&quot;]Typically, prior to a coin show opening its doors, dealers have a certain amount of &quot;set up&quot; time. During this time, dealers typically peruse the inventories of other dealers in an effort to pick up additional inventory at dealer to dealer prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find it very difficult to understand why this did not happen in this case? At the very minimum, the dealers to either side of this older lady should have informed her that her prices were simply too low and that she was leaving as much, if not more, money on the table than what she took in.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I&#039;d like to congratulate the OP on such a find, I&#039;d feel much better about congratulations had this been a bank score at face value than in learning it was from an older lady who may or may not have known what she was doing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;d have informed her what the coins current bullion values were. If there were interesting varities in the lot, I&#039;d have bought them at the higher, acceptable bullion price.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just do not understand why it&#039;s so dreadfully sinful for a coin dealer to offer ridiculous buy prices to older ladies, knowing full well that they are ripping them off, yet its ok for someone to knowingly take advantage of that same lady simply because she set up at a coin show? from my standpoint, some casual conversation might have been appropriate to find at why she was there in the first place and then why her prices were so low.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP&#039;s question, I spend as little time as possible in the bargain bin box and have yet to attend a Coin Show this year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
