<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 556584, member: 13016&quot;]I promised I&#039;d come back and relate my experiences to you. Thank you to everyone who offered me support and tips beforehand. It was all very helpful.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The show was slated to run from 10-4. I arrived a little before 8:30. I ended up splitting the table with another guy in my coin club. He&#039;s actually the one that suggested doing this a couple of months ago. Then he said he&#039;d be out of town for work, but as it turns out he was able to make it. Cool! Of course, I was planning on having a full table, and I had enough stuff to cover it, but I was happy to cut back to half. Besides, it saved me half of the table fees (which, incidentally, this show is $45 for an 8-foot table.) There were about 40-50 dealers -- a sell out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I sold a couple of grams of gold to another dealer before the show even started. I was surprised at the number of people coming through the show at 9:00-9:30, considering it wasn&#039;t supposed to open until 10:00. It then got very busy until noon or so, and then was dead until 2:30. Then it picked up again for the next half hour. Everybody at the show was packing up by 3:30. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I won&#039;t go into dollar figures, but I sold about what I figured I would. My gross was pretty good, and I made decent profit on the pieces I was able to sell. I paid for the table pretty quickly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I didn&#039;t get the chance to walk around much to shop the other dealers, but I did pick up a 1950-D nickel and a 1921 Merc pretty cheaply. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I knew the dealers on either side of me, and it was a good place to be. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I even knew one of the customers. It was The Noost! Not only did he stop by to say hi, he went and purchased, and then gave to me, two 2009 log cabin cents (P&amp;D)! How nice of him!!! I offered to pay him for them, but he wouldn&#039;t accept. He&#039;s really a great guy. I didn&#039;t so much as hold any of these cents in my hand before today, so I was really glad to get them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My organization paid off. I knew what I paid for coins, I had them all priced, and my showcase organization was excellent. As I sold coins, I had more to put in their place. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, it was a great experience, and I definitely plan to set up at shows more often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
