Message:: [QUOTE="troyster68, post: 125939, member: 2215"]This is the largest coins show in the area I used to go quite a bit, they have a National Show I believe once a year where the entire place is slammed full of dealers. Buyers beware this is also I the place I paid over $300 for a $50 dollar coin. I guess that is what is so frustraighting about this beloved hobby. I don't know nearly enough to buy from some of these guys and they sometime Knowingly misrepresent there wares for the almighty buck, Had I not lost my job for 6 months and had to rely on my collection for food and the mortgage I may have never realized how badly I was taken. And this is only one example of the fraud I have found. I would love more than anything to establish a relationship with 1 or 2 dealers that want to sell a coin at a fair price and then be willing to accept it back at the same grade or close to the same price. I understand they have overhead and I am fine with that, but when a dealer sells you an AU coin and you offer it back to them they tell you it is a F, XF sometimes that is a GIANT price difference. As a single income of 4 I cant take those risks on a regular basis. Thanks for listening Buy the way if you do have the knowledge this is a great show!![/QUOTE]
