[QUOTE="Jim-P, post: 7695831, member: 118020"]I'm considering going to the Annandale Coin Show. To sell. NoVa community college Annandale is pretty close to where I live, but I've never been to a coin show before, let alone set up to sell at one. Over the last few months I've had a lot of coins slabbed, but I also have quite a few ungraded. What should I expect customers' expectations to be when it comes to ungraded coins? Do potential customers prefer to look at coins free of container? Or does the ease of handling make it necessary to have a holder? Are saflips the most common way to display ungraded coins? Do people want to be told what grade a coin is, like written on the cardboard 2x2, or are they there to judge for themselves? I'm sure many if not most are more adept at grading than I am. Are credit card transactions the most popular? Will a vendor miss out if they don't have a Square card reader? Or are most of the non-cash transactions by something like paypal or applepay where the recipient can check the account to see payment has been made? Other than paypal I'm not set up for electronic payments. Does there seem to be a preference for slabbed vs. ungraded? Or is that too dependent on prices and inventory to see a trend?
