<p>[QUOTE="Jay GT4, post: 3051552, member: 88526"]My advice would be to just be conscious of your behaviour. Don't just reach into display cases but ask first. Don't bring back packs or bags into the show, or even bulky coats for that matter. Unscrupulous people use those things to steal from the tables. It's been said before but if you are looking at a coin make sure the dealer gets it back in his hands and don't just leave it on the table. Things go "missing". Most ancient dealers love talking and don't mind if you stay and converse with them. Just make sure you give room for others to buy and look. Every dealer I've ever bought from at a show will give a better price if they can and aren't offended you asked. In fact the first dealer I ever bought from in person told me to always ask for a better price!</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like a lot of rules but really it's just common sense and shows are a lot of fun and a great way to learn about ancients.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
