[QUOTE="clembo, post: 355928, member: 8033"]When I go to shows I usually have a Greysheet and a copy of Coin Prices with me. These are sheerly for reference to get a feel for the prices. I don't want to pay Coin Prices retail and don't generally expect Greysheet bid. Coin dealers gotta eat too. Knowing what you want and what you'll pay beforehand is the best but it is nice to have backup if needed. Most of the dealers I'll go to know me anyway. Usually a quick and painless process. NOW, I HAVE seen newbies make total fools out of themselves with a Greysheet in hand. Walk up to a table like they own it and start quoting bid prices. Damn near smacked one upside the head one day to hear his walnut of a brain rattle around. I was not impressed and neither was the dealer. If the price is not for you then move along. I have one dealer at shows that has "wiggle" room. He knows what he wants but also knows what he'll take. I have no problem with that.[/QUOTE]
