Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 130561, member: 2761"]Remember...cash is king! It helps when "wheeling-and-dealing". Always keep your case/bag between your feet (if you are standing) and on your lap when sitting. Carry cash in the front pocket or a more secured location. Always watch your back at shows. There is just too much money on the table NOT to attract criminals. When going to your car, always keep an eye on your rear view mirror. As for price guides...I go to the show with my Coin Prices, Coin Values and Grey Sheet price guide. Before that, I make a list of what I hope to acquire and the high/low pricing I may pay for the coin. I always ask the dealer, "What are you asking for this coin?" ...and that never stops me from askinig, "Will you take ____, ...cash?" Dealers are not stupid as they do have wiggle room built into their pricing. Best part...finding steals! I found a 1909 VDB MS66RD (blazing) in a NGC holder I picked up for $100! Any 1909's in a true MS66RD are going up like crazy! Must be the 2009 anticipation year! Study...walk the floor first...then come back and buy. Never buy the first coin you see or like. Hit and WORK the floor and have fun!![/QUOTE]
