<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 38408, member: 112&quot;]My son, aged 13, goes with me to coin shows &amp; shops on a regular basis. He has since he was 10. And ever since the first time, he has been treated with respect. The dealers actually go out of their way to help him and answer his questions. There is not a single time that he was with me when he was not given freebies or special deals. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now you might think that is because was with me - but it wasn&#039;t. It was because he expressed an interest, a willingness to learn. I have observed the very same thing with countless other children in shops and at shows. If the child expresses an interest - the dealer is MORE than willing to treat them just like any other customer, they are even deferential to children. I have more than once seen a dealer make an adult stand and wait while he talked with a child. And the adult stood there willingly and patiently with a smile on his face the whole time.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s because they all know what the children represent - the future of our hobby&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
