[QUOTE="Amanda Varner, post: 1903014, member: 59002"]I didn't read the original post as Vic calling me out -- I took it to mean if he bought his first coin at a show in 10 years from me, that he must have thought THAT was a good deal. I'm not offended over here or anything! :) I can tell you though, as for the "interested or even able to give good deals" from the dealer side, it's all about the number of sales -- and the public is all there for a reason. Coin Shows have tire-kickers and first timers like anything else, but a majority of the public who attends are (often serious) collectors who are looking for something specific, and have cash ready and waiting in their pockets. It's a compacted experience where we do enough business in a short time to not only pay the travel costs, but take some money home with us not because we're ripping someone's eyes out on a coin, but because the volume of transactions will make us come out on top. It's [I]supposed[/I] to be a win-win for everyone![/QUOTE]
