<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1204762, member: 13650&quot;]600 to 800 tables and hot women all around is not the norm!&nbsp; lol&nbsp; Trust me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; 2-1/2 hours is barely enough time to cover an 80 table show.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That was a major show for your first experience.&nbsp;&nbsp; IME, most of them I go to is free parking, parking abounds, 60 to 80 tables, free to get in, most have a raffle to sign up for at the door, and it can still be overwhelming!&nbsp; You can spend hours there and really only glance over most of it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;ve found you almost have to have a strategy when you go to them or be prepared to be overwhelmed.&nbsp; If you&#039;re there to look for one thing or a few specific things, that narrows the search down and makes most of what is there irrelevant to you.&nbsp;&nbsp; If something catches your eye in the mean time, so be it.&nbsp; But at least you don&#039;t feel like you have to see everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Many times, I&#039;ll bring a list of a few things I&#039;m looking for with prices realized from recent online auctions and guides, for various grades, next to what I&#039;m looking for.&nbsp; I can easily pull the sheet out and know where they&#039;re at.&nbsp; Now when I leave them, I don&#039;t feel like it was a blur and nothing got done.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Most prices are not set there and you can negotiate down a little to quite a bit if you just ask.&nbsp; If you say &quot;you&#039;ll take it&quot;, they&#039;ll gladly let you pay the full amount too.&nbsp; &nbsp; Personalities come in to play big time.&nbsp; Last one I was at, there was an old dealer with a large collection trying to get out of the business.&nbsp; Wanted to retire!&nbsp; Sign on the wall, &quot;if you don&#039;t like the price, just ask! &quot; with a smiley face next to it.&nbsp; &nbsp; The guy always tends to be high and gets offended easily by offers.&nbsp; Gets rude with people.&nbsp;&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t want to budge on prices and still didn&#039;t want to.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Just one example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
