Maybe some Kleenex when someone tries to sell you some gold plated state quarters or the decal covered Obama coins.

thanx guys! still deciding on which show to do & which show will fit me in.

Many shows here in socal have a waiting list to get a table

 

Try a trade show if they have them there.

Cheaper too like $20 to $50 a weekend

You'll need air purifiers. Lots and lots of air purifiers.

 

you need all that stuff, but patience with the potential customer is needed too. Be personable.

 

Answer customers questions with a smile, develope comradarie with the dealers ( they can help you some day ), TAKE A SHOWER AND WEAR CLEAN CLOTHES, keep a smile on your face, and most of all remember, this is FUN, if your not a full time pro, have a great day. Remember, you COULD be at work:smile

 

I would second coinman's comment. I came across some kind of caustic personalities, which completely turned me off. Be engaging to people, especially those who look like newer collectors, and be eager to answer questions.
