[QUOTE="BNB Analytics, post: 686987, member: 20117"]Hello guys.. It's Saturday and I have made the early decision not to attend the third and final day of the show(even though it will be the best day probably). This won't be a very long report like some are, just because I really don't feel like covering a lot. The show was not that good. I say that respectfully and to all the dealers who showed up, my respect is with you. The public just didn't seem enthusiastic here. There were not a lot of people at the show and after speaking to numerous dealers, they were very disappointed with the business there and some were even packing it up early. I would give this show a 5/10. Most the dealers were charging very high prices as what is expected and very few actually treated me respectfully and with open arms(Usually I like those types, makes me wanna buy from them) I did however bid on a 1909-s vdb xf40 from the Heritage Live lot for $1265 paid total. It's a gorgeous brownie. I also got a 4oz silver $50 bill. I love those for some reason. So, I didn't leave empty handed. However, the general environment on the floor was not very optimistic like I've seen at some shows before. I hope whoever went found a great "deal" and did well. I really am losing faith in coin dealers as a whole. This is a becoming a big problem. Some dealers are plain rip offs and don't deserve to even be dealing in my opinion. I know that is harsh of me to say, but come on.. Do they think we're stupid? $1800 for an Ms64 1908 No Motto.. Give me a break. The days of finding a dealer that will sell to you at bid is hard. Sure dealers have to make a living, but what KIND of living do some of these people make? I wouldn't be surprised if they have yachts with the prices they charge on some of their coins. Give me a break... For a buyer, Heritage is the only place I'll go now.. I don't even know if going to shows is good for me anymore after seeing the prices being thrown around here. It's just disgraceful in my opinion. Anyway, enuff out of me. This is my report. If I do go to a show in the future after this, I need to build up relations with the "Fair and honest' dealers which do exist but are very few. BNB Out PS: I hope you had a good time Mike ..
