<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1980968, member: 56793"]One could argue, that you either adapt or perish holding onto old and out of date ideals. The evolution of common courtesy dictates that not wasting people's time, not ignoring them and displaying prices is also a common courtesy. You want to sell to tourists or hard working individuals who don't have the time to putter around a coin show for 2 days? If it's tourists, great, enjoy.</p><p><br /></p><p>This hobby is mostly male dominated. When was the last time you met a guy who enjoys spending his weekends in malls, window shopping, chatting with staff, etc? When was the last time a guy spent the whole day in a hardware store to get the, "Optimum Experience"? I don't know, some people here seem to be a bit out of touch with reality. I need a tool, I get it in minutes, maybe I'll spend 45 min. looking at new stuff, if I know that there is something I'll need or want down the road. The puttering experience and chatting all day with seniors, does not result in many fruitful sales, at least not ones that will compensate you for all the time you spent chatting, instead of selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
