<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1516517, member: 11854&quot;]I travel the eastern US to do shows; from the coast of Maine down to Florida and out toward Pittsburgh and even sometimes Chicago.&nbsp; I don&#039;t travel all the time and some months spend very few nights away from home.&nbsp; Travel to shows is about more than simply buying and selling.&nbsp; It is also about meeting new contacts, putting a face to an email and making certain others know you will be around for a deal.&nbsp; Attending shows can cost quite a bit and there are times when one can&#039;t help but to lose money for a month or several months in a row.</p><p><br /></p><p>Baltimore always seems to be a good show and the ANA (main show) and FUN (winter FUN) generally do well for most folks.&nbsp; Other shows can be sketchy (Philadelphia and CoinFest) while some never seem to pull off an economically viable event (Pittsburgh).&nbsp; My take from these shows is that even if I don&#039;t make much money from the shows, I have met people and perhaps strengthened business ties that will help in the future.&nbsp; This is definitely not an easy way to make a living if you strive to treat people fairly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
