<p>[QUOTE="davidh, post: 1210950, member: 15062"]Dealer etiquette (from a buyer's point of view)A situation that has happened to me more than just a few times is when I am waiting to see a particular coin and the dealer is engaged in conversation with another dealer or acquaintence who has happened by. These conversations typically last several minutes and typically are on subjects other than coins or collecting. Maybe two or three minutes waiting won't kill me but if I'm standing there with $500 cash in my pocket to spend, I don't want to have to listen about your grandkid's soccer game or how you'll bring some "better stuff" to the next show for another dealer to pick from. If in-person customers bore you so much maybe you should stick to ebay. Maybe I should too.Also, maybe kids shouldn't be unattended at a coin show, but I've seen dealers totally ignore a pre-teen standing at their table. Maybe they've only got $2 to spend, or maybe just have a question but to ignore this probable future customer is just rude and stupid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
