If you want to &quot;trade&quot; (which I take to encompass buying, selling, and trading), just take it somewhere else. </p><p><br /></p><p>While this may be a &quot;fun social event&quot; for you and many collectors, this is business time for most dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Economic growth for whom? If anyone and everyone can openly sell, why would any dealer pay for a table? If no one pays to do business, then who pays for the venue? How many that are strictly collectors would be willing to pay very high admission fees just to spend their money while others conduct business for free? I understand its a passion thing for you, but think this through...</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this example would make more sense... lets say you started the metals business and after all the investment, work, etc, someone sets up in a truck out in front of your shop offering to pay more and sell for less - something they can do since their overhead is next to nothing... they are not paying to do business while you are. Would this be okay, especially since for some buying and selling metals is fun? Would you be okay with you because of the technical &quot;economic growth&quot;? Of course not since it would hurt your business, just as anyone and everyone selling on the bourse floor would for table renting dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
