[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 918131, member: 24633"]Well, it's 7:30 am here in Florida, so you might not see this. Everyone else has pretty much covered everything, but also keep this in mind: There is nothing wrong with pulling out your own copy of the Greysheet for reference. The dealers use it, so why shouldn't you? It is a little nervy to ask the dealer if you can borrow his/her copy, though. If you're standing in front of a dealers display case and you think you see something that might interest you, pull your loupe out of your pocket before you sit down. If you're already seated and you want to get your loupe out of your pants or jacket pocket, stand up so the dealer can see exactly what you are doing. It's always a cause for concern to a dealer when someone seated is reaching into their pockets. If you're carrying a portfolio or tote bag with you, don't lay it on the dealer's display case while you're looking. It can block the view for other passersby. If there is not an extra chair next to you, put your bag or carrying case on the floor between your feet. Try not to leave your bag unattended or out of your view. You never know, as Charmy can attest to, who might be looking for just that opportunity to steal it. If you don't see exactly what you want in a dealer's case, you might want to ask him/her if they might have what you want in the rest of their stock. Dealers don't always put everything on display because of space limitations. [B]Lastly, always be sure to thank the dealer for their time even if you don't buy anything[/B]. Chris[/QUOTE]
