<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 85087, member: 2100&quot;]Know as much as you possibly can about the types of items you think you may be purchasing. Learn about grading; variations; pricing; specific features to look for, especially if a given year or two had something &quot;special&quot; about them. I have paid less than $10 for items with initial asking prices in the hundred dollar neighborhood, but only because I knew exactly what I was looking at and what the items were worth (and the dealer did not). I suppose it helps to have interests in oddball exonumia, of which many coin dealers have little knowledge. Try to place yourself in a position where a dealer can not buffalo you, but that process will take more than two weeks. If you take to the ropes, do so in a small way for the first couple shows to gain some experience. Repeat business with a good dealer at a later show may work to your advantage a bit as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
