Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 556714, member: 4552"]Glad to hear all turned out so good. Smart move to share a table. At most coin shows I've been to many dealers have told me they sure wish they had someone with them. One dealer once asked me to watch his table for him. I didn't although I maybe should have. Afraid if anything was missing, regardless of what, he might have thought it was me. If you don't know other dealers and have to hit the washroom, pays to have someone with you. Also, a favorite trick of some rather dishonest types is to have one person keep you busy and another pocket something. Hopefully if you had to buy any food or drinks, it wasn't like some I've gone to where it cost more than the coins. And as to people and the starting times. Most of the shows around me are supposed to start at 9AM. If I get there at 9AM the place is already over crowded. By 11 it is difficult to walk in the aisles. Your lucky you didn't wander around to much. You could have ended up with more than you sold. As to money. Regardless of how much you made for a first show, it is more important to find out what it's like, who goes there, how many customers, the age groups and primarily if you had a great time. Fun is always more important than a few dollars.[/QUOTE]
