<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1983902, member: 58810&quot;]Two things. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. The coin show is not as important as it was in the past. Twenty years ago if you wanted more then your lcs could provide then you were going to have to find it at a coin show. In today&#039;s world the gen x&#039;ers who are all grown up are of the digital age.</p><p>As said in other threads we can buy using coinfacts, ha and grey sheet data buying pcgs and ngc coins with return policies so if we are not happy we can get a full refund. I&#039;m not saying coin shows are not fun or not enjoyable. I&#039;m simply saying the percentage of sales to collectors at coin shows is decreasing as collectors use other avenues that were not available in the past. Personally out of my whole collection I have only got two coins that were from a show. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. In no way am I or would I ever consider my self a professional coin dealer but I did have the experience of having a table at a show. I found it was not that hard to provide customer service. It really was not difficult for me to give service that torontokuba thinks is important. I don&#039;t have to make a living this way and did not have the pressure that an actual coin dealer has. But in my pretend time it was not hard to acknowledge people if they came up to the table and I was helping someone else. I never was anything but polite to people who obviously were not going to buy. </p><p><br /></p><p>I acknowledge that I am in no position to judge, but actually my lack of experience did show me that if a vest pocket guy like myself could be respectful and polite, that I really don&#039;t understand why someone who really is the professional can&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
