Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 341890, member: 4552"]WOW. Am I glad I don't live where you people live. Around me when I go to a coin show that starts at 9:00AM I get there at about 8:30 AM and it is already crowded. There have been times when I could not get there early or heard silly rumors that if you go late the dealers are more likely to give you a real bargain. At most shows around here they too end at about 3:00PM. Of course no one looks at clocks or watches there either so no one knows. The shows end when there are no more customers. I've seen coin shows go until 4 or 5 PM if crowded. No dealer around here would ever think of leaving on time or earlier if there was even one customer roaming around. Around here we have gun shows, coin shows, knife shows, computer shows, card shows, train shows and on and on and on. At one of the gun shows that supposed to open at 8AM I get there at about 7AM and have  a tuff time finding a parking place. Some ammo dealers are almost sold out by 8AM. Our show times for all shows are from when peope get there to when they leave. There are exceptions though. The stupid, really big shows at a Convention center that lasts for about 3 or 4 days is sort of like that. Can't get in until they officially open. but still stay open until all are out. No one chases anyone out of any shows here. Must be Chicago mentality. Sure glad I don't live by you people.[/QUOTE]
