[QUOTE="ace71499, post: 3041908, member: 56712"]Hey Guys, I am thinking about hosting a coin show at the library where I work. I feel like it would be a great venue to get 20 or so dealers to set up shop for a coin show. We have a large meeting room in which the dealers could set up from 9-5 on a Saturday and hopefully have a good profitable day. Before I pitch this to my bosses, I'd like to ask you what I'd have to think about before planning it. I've only been to a couple coin shows so my exposure is limited. What I'm thinking of doing is calling local dealers to see if they'd like to have a table here. Are dealers usually charged for a table, or is it free usually? Do I need security (the library is located in a low crime area with the police station walking distance away). Do I provide food for the dealers? There's just so many things I'm unsure about. I know some of you have set up coin shows as well, I can think of the person but can't place the username. Please tag them if you remember (their picture is Luke from the latest star wars movie). I'd appriciate any input, even if you think it's a bad idea. Rather know now then after I pitch it. Happy Easter! Jason[/QUOTE]
