[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3879846, member: 59737"]I'll start by saying that I believe my suggestion would work best at a smaller show. I'm really not sure why you made up a scenario where only one dealer gets pointed out, just to say it's a terrible idea (one calls this a straw man argument fallacy). I very clearly said "point them to the right [B]table[U][I]s[/I][/U][/B]", not "just send them to Bob". Some dealers are only world coins dealers, some are only US. If all of them might have a 1921 Peace Dollar, then the person would simply say "everyone has that". I agree that the scenario you invented is a bad one, but it doesn't reflect my suggestion. And how does a promoter know what everyone deals in? Simple, the person running the table provides a list of what they buy/sell. At a huge show, the promoter could create a quick database that enables dealers to click on which coin genres they'll be dealing in. Someone says Morgan Dollar, they click "morgans" on the database and spit out a list of tables. Edit: promoters have done this, I've seen it firsthand, at shows I went to. No dealer walked out.
