<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2041354, member: 36230"]You seem to be under the impression that obtaining full retail in such a setting, especially with lower attendance, is a walk in the park, and while I commend you for such a noble undertaking, I also fear you are setting yourself up for a big surprise, at least if you continue with this insisting on receiving "full market" or "retail" for anything consigned minus the 10% "donation". I don't know where you're located and therefore am unfamiliar with your local show, but with those that I am familiar with, and as mentioned earlier, the biggest selling point is price. Even with less common/plentiful material, unless priced below to well below bid, it usually sits; with truly common/plentiful material it is even worwe, and these shows, like yours, have suffered from similar attendance issues. If you wish to help club members unload unwanted material, that is great, but just be sure to know your market before making any promises/assumptions. Oftentimes there is good reason why some dealers pay whatmay seem to be very low prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
