<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1097369, member: 6641&quot;]Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions!!!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So they do their research ahead of the show just like the dealer does or should.&nbsp; They know what they want and know what they are willing to pay to get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to my 1st big show in the summer and will make sure to do plenty of research before hand!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, it sounds like the inexperienced will not know value or how to grade and thinks they can haggle like they are shopping a market in Mexico.&nbsp; LOL - these are the ones I am sure make dealers question why they picked a job that has them selling to the general public.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have you as a buyer ever come across a coin you really liked and decided you wanted but it wasn&#039;t a piece that you expected to see and didn&#039;t know the value of.&nbsp; How did you as an experienced dealer handle buying it without knowing the value of it?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know you are focused in 1 specific area and that helps to know what your limit are when it comes to prices.&nbsp; For the buyer that is walking around a show that sees something they did not have on their buy list, it has to happen regularly.</p><p><br /></p><p>What percentage of dealers take credit cards or checks?&nbsp; I would think it&#039;s pretty small and if it is you would think the buyer would know better.&nbsp; If many dealers do accept plastic then I could understand how an assumption could be made. Just out of curiosity do you have a sign for you table that says cash only?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again, this is a great thread!</p><p><br /></p><p>Darryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
