Message:: [QUOTE="Kibenella coins, post: 1983786, member: 71897"]I go to a lot of coin shows throughout the Midwest and I always act in a Respectful way. However I think there needs to be an etiquette lesson for some dealers as well. Now don't get me wrong most are very nice and easy to talk to but some just act like bitter, socially awkward, jerks. I couldn't tell you how many times I wanted to purchase a coin from someone's case and I had to stand there without even a glance in my direction because the guy behind the counter was obviously on a personal phone call. Or the exaggerated exhales they give when you ask to see a coin.or the time I brought my nephew to a show because he was starting to get into coin collecting and he was asking a dealer to see some Lincoln cents from his case that were in the $5 to $10 range and he acted like we were wasting his time. After 2 bad experiences at coin shows my nephew doesn't want to go to them anymore. These kids are the future of our hobby if they keep meeting these disgruntled dealers they will move on to other hobbies. Now as I stated these dealers are certainly the minority but they do seem to be increasing in number, and I do understand how difficult the public can be as I have worked in the customer service field for many years but you would think they could act a little more cordial epically if they are trying to sell something.[/QUOTE]
