<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 572805, member: 4552"]Nice lists so far. Just print out this entire post and you fairly well have it all. So far an extra magnifier or two, at least one table lamp, small zip lock bags for customers to put coins in, glass covered cases with some sort of locking mecanism, thermos with coffee or pop or a Martini (don't want to go running around if thirsty), small jar of glass cleaner (people leave finger prints all over your cases). Find out ahead of time about chairs for you and customers. </p><p>Cash for making change, grey sheet for pricing, calculator, extension cords (both 2 and 3 pronged in case either is required), buisness card or pad of paper to write down info, Pens, pencils and if possible any coin collecting items like plastic rolls, 2x2's, any old unwanted folders or albums, etc. </p><p>Just at a coin show today and you'ld be amazed at how many people ask for those items and so few have anything. One dealer has nothing but plastic rolls, coin books, coin albums, extra pages, 2x2's, boxes for the 2x2's, etc. and he makes a really good day selling those. </p><p>Attempt to find someone that appears trustworthy to be next to in case you go alone. You don't want to be putting everything away to hit the wash room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
