<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3428183, member: 22377&quot;]I agree with many of your pros and cons. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bid boards (monthly auctions) can be fun. One of my local stores still has one, but it&#039;s fairly weak nowadays. There used to be more material before, but with few bidders and thus low final prices, that quality and variety has really gone down now (it appears as most of the material now is made up of items the store can&#039;t sell but only discounts by a few dollars when putting it up for &quot;auction&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>A big turn-off is when dealers won&#039;t acknowledge you. I&#039;ve been to a few stores where it&#039;s just a few guys sitting in the back chatting and I had to go through a lot of effort before one of them comes up (grumbling) and finally quotes a price as if he&#039;s doing me a huge favor.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Something that I really like is when a young collector comes into the store and the dealer makes an effort to engage with them (ask about coins, history, etc). It&#039;s cool to encourage the younger generation and have them leave the LCS with a positive experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
