<p>[QUOTE="contrarian740, post: 1341968, member: 35150"]Huge attendance today and most dealers reporting strong sales ... except for one that I know of. I spent a lot of time scouting the floor searching for items on my want list and practicing my eye to spot those premium coins. I looked at a few walkers and Morgans along the way but held off making offers until I was comfortable with my choices. I ran into one dealer who had several nice 1941-S Walkers earlier in the day and he told me today was it, he was packing up and heading back to California this evening at 6:00. One of his 41-S walkers was a MS65+ with a CAC sticker. I tried to get that one at my price, but he wouldn't budge off his, so I moved on. Around 4:00 PM I went back to several dealers where before I'd spotted coins that had my interest. I couldn't believe it ... they all sold! Every one of the Morgans I wanted were gone, so I started over going booth to booth once again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without realizing it, I ended up walking past the dealer who had those 41-S Walkers and I heard him call my name (I'd left him a card). When I looked around, he motioned me to come over, so over I went. He had the three 41-S Walkers out and handed me a piece of paper with prices written on it and said, "here's my rock bottom price on any of these you want."</p><p><br /></p><p> Folks, I should have bought all three at those prices, but settled for the plus with CAC sticker at about $50.00 higher than I wanted it for. That's OK ... this one stays in my personal collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>He told me later that he didn't do well at this show and that's why he made me the offer. He was a very likable person and I kind of felt sorry for him, but I'm sure he'll be fine the next time. Anyway, tomorrow is the last day and I did spot some more nice dollars and walkers that weren't out before. I'll let you know how I do and try to get some photos posted next Week.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Rick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
