<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1879883, member: 11854"]What I am writing about is when someone stops by the table and hands me a list of modern Chinese coins he would like to purchase even though I only have US coins out and my specialty is US coins and after I politely tell him that I don't have anything he continues with playing twenty questions about where I might have a Chinese coin put away and hidden (true story). I am also writing about dealers (many) whose eyes glaze when the are handed an overflowing want list and they can tell it isn't their niche (it happens often). Lastly, I was specifically tailoring my answer to the OP, who seems to be going to his first large show and may not be organized, may not have a good strategy and will likely know few dealers. In this case, his time is especially valuable and he needs to limit the frustration that repeated rejection may cause.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
