[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 26226354, member: 101855"][USER=105571]@Publius2[/USER] Some dealers come to a show to mostly or only do dealer to dealer wholesale business. They don't care of the sell a coin at the show because that's not their purpose for being there. Some dealers are just lazy and don't give a rat's tail. They come to stare at their computer screens and go to fancy restaurants with their friends. They figure that "the public" is a waste of time. In the old days (the 1970s), some dealers had clientele that carried them along. They had been in business forever, and didn't need to waste their time on a young squirt like me. One of those guys gave me a lecture at a show about how I didn’t know how the market operated because I was not willing to pay his prices, which were like triple Grey Sheet at the time. The funny part is, I bought all of those coins in grades as good or better than what he was offering for a lot less money. All it took was a genuine effort.[/QUOTE]
