<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 697560, member: 4552&quot;]Sort of as already stated, what difference does it make for a dealer, show owner, shop owner as to the ages of their customers. </p><p>How old a customer is should make little difference to a seller of anything. So why not wonder about a customers religion, race, size, location, etc. None of those things really makes a difference in buisness and never should. I&#039;ve seen this question of age pot up all the time. People that attend coin shows notice the massive amounts of sellers are middle aged and the massive amount of customers are elderly. Also, mostly male. </p><p>However, as you notice many of the on line individuals are of a much wider range in ages. And with good reasons too. Many elderly individuals are not computer smart so they stick to real life. The elderly go to shows, shops, etc. Younger people have grown up with the computer age and find everything they need, want, like on the internet. </p><p>The very young have a problem getting to a coin show or coin store by themselves. Not old enough to drive. Many younger individuals find thier friends think coin collecting is for Nerds so they try not to publicize these types of hobbies. Many younger people just don&#039;t have the money to be a coin collector yet except what they find in change. </p><p>Elderly people just don&#039;t care what you think about what they collect or do with their money. Elderly people also need something to break the boredom of sitting around waiting for the end so they go to places like coin shows, car shows, gun shows, etc. Great to walk around just looking you know. Elderly people have spent a long, long time making money and now want to have fun and coins are fun to many. </p><p>As to the ages at coin shows though, I too noticed the ages of the greatest amount of customers over the years. It is slowly changing a little but still, the manority of customers at shows are males of from about 50 and way, way up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
