<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blake Davis, post: 26652160, member: 91820&quot;]There was a time when I used to look forward to the NY Coin show, practically counting the days when I would be able to see wonderful - but unaffordable - coins up close, talk to the dealers, check out the pick out pots etc.&nbsp; And come home with something nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, as the years have gone by the number of dealers has become smaller and smaller, coins are almost completely individually priced and the prices have become insane - even for worn examples.&nbsp; This year due to some transport issues I got there three hours before the close - this happened last year as well but most of the dealers were still there and I expected the same thing.&nbsp; Instead - empty tables - there were only a handful left, and those that were there had not much.&nbsp; I went downstairs after ten minutes, told the people I bought the ticket from that they should have warned me everyone was gone, they told me that &quot;too bad, we are just temps, you can forget about a refund.&quot;&nbsp; So $60 down the drain for me and my mom, who always comes with me since she lives only a short distance away.&nbsp; $30 per person to begin with was outrageous - $30 times two to see empty rooms was insane.&nbsp; And of course, also parking, gas, tolls and the mid-town tax.&nbsp; A lot of money for a lot of nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>No way will we be back - the show was a complete waste of time and money - I intend to contact the sponsor about a refund but I know my chances are zero.&nbsp; And yes I should have got there earlier but based on a prior experience - last year - we expected most of the dealers to still be there. </p><p><br /></p><p>The internet has finally killed the coin show.&nbsp; Next year I will be wiser and stay home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
