<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPeace$, post: 1989914, member: 42727&quot;]I&#039;ve purchased a few coins at regional shows.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found some dealers have very high prices and others that are more realistic.&nbsp; On two occassions, I spent some time going through world coins in 2x2&#039;s at a dealers table.&nbsp; While looking through the coins, I struck up a conversation with the dealer.&nbsp; When I was ready to make the purchase, both dealers gave me a discount on the prices listed on the 2x2&#039;s.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t even have to ask.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The last show I was at, I was looking for a 1913 Type I Buffalo in MS66.&nbsp; After viewing multiple coins, I narrowed it down.&nbsp; In each instance, I spent a few minutes chatting with the dealer about the coin.&nbsp; I ended up buying one (the nicest looking of those I viewed) for a fair price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve also had some bad experiences with dealers at shows.&nbsp; When that happens, I just move on.&nbsp; The majority of my experiences have been good though.&nbsp; I&#039;m in sales and marketing.&nbsp; Always B to B.&nbsp; I&#039;d never want to sell directly to the general public and I empathize with some of the dealers who have to put up with buyer&#039;s shenanigans.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m planning to attend a show this weekend.&nbsp; I hope I can find a coin for my 7070 graded set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
