[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2041038, member: 41863"]Hey guys, I joined a small local club about a year ago and it has been plagued with declining show size and dealer attendance (I'm sure this is a frequent issue). So I have been brain storming and among many ideas I came up with one that I wanted to ask you alls opinion about. I am, among other things to boost turnout and generate income, contemplating hosting a club table at the show or 'renting' a table myself and selling any coins I want to get rid of as well as acting like the clubs own retailer for anything the members may want to sell. Either way it would work all prices would be agreed upon before hand, percentages and haggling allowances discussed, etc. However the most important fee or percentage would be the fee for actually selling the club members merchandise at top dollar, that would be say 10% of the sale price of the coin/item. That 10% would be the donation to the club for hosting the show, having the opportunity to sell your coins to an engaged audience, etc. This would be to generate income in order to advertise more thoroughly for the next show and to help implement ideas to merge two counties under one club to combine forces and potential show turnout, etc. Now my hesitation comes with respect to the dealers that are paying for the same audience and now the host is or has direct competition on the floor. How do you dealers and collectors feel about the idea?[/QUOTE]
