<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CheetahCats, post: 1210110, member: 23874&quot;]Nice post. These are all good rules, indeed. And it was very nice meeting you at the Baltimore Whitman show [last April.] <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For me, the newest pet-peeve is when a dealer verbally criticizes a particular variety on a collector&#039;s want list. Twice at shows, the same dealer did this when I asked him if he had any. Medium grades of these specimens start in the hundreds, as demand for them is relatively high, and I was prepared to acquire any he had to offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, at the first show I let the criticism roll off my back, and I still made a $600 purchase involving other specimens that he had on my list.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The second show, when I asked about the same variety, he again criticized them.&nbsp; This time, however, I chose to put back other types of specimens I had planned on purchasing from him, and walked away.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the day, it did work out for the best, Two other dealers had the same types/varieties that I was going to buy from him, plus more, and I ended up buying up all that they had.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
