<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 1483253, member: 22602&quot;]I know you are speaking from personal experience. We might be perceiving the same environment in a slightly different way. I think dealers are generally social types who enjoy the fellowship of shows—or they wouldn&#039;t be doing it. But I&#039;m always very aware that they have their mind on the bottom line. It&#039;s a business. Chatting can be fun on their end but can get old quickly if they&#039;re not cultivating sales—or customers. Some, I&#039;ve noticed, have no patience at all and can be downright jerks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure much depends on the size of the show, the busyness, the turnout, whether sales have been good, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your original description of a coin show as a &quot;social gathering...&quot; to me better describes the purpose of a coin <i>club</i>—and even they are often just an excuse to have a monthly auction![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
