<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1210920, member: 26302"]Winged, I think you are reading into it too much. A lot of these things are extreme cases that peeve us off. My example was a bargain that the dealer had mispriced, (and would have been caught probably when a dealer went to post on the internet), and the customer just accepting the deal as for further price decrease. In my experience you do not have the "haggling" like you do in person. Some people truly do insult the dealers with lowball offers. If a coin is on an Ebay auction someone cannot come up and offer half the going price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I think the comraderie, atmosphere, and seeing the coins in person have tremendous value as well. I enjoy talking to other collectors, seeing things in person, attending the educational events, etc. Many of these shows should be classified as part education as well as coin acquisition expense. Its a part of the hobby that you do not have access to if you simply do everything online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
