[QUOTE="clembo, post: 314737, member: 8033"]"The difference between the first sentence and the second is the “quoting prices” part?" Absolutely Darryl and I'm talking a "newbie" that for some reason thinks if he/she has a copy of Greysheet they know it all. I've seen it happen too many times. A person approaches a table, pulls out a Greysheet and starts quoting prices they should pay. You can spot tnem believe me. They have done no other research. They can't grade, they don't know the history, they basically know nothing about coins but feel they are "investors" and some plebe of a dealer should sell to them at the price they want. Of course the "plebe" of a dealer has forgotten more about coins than this person has ever known and possibly in the last ten minutes. THOSE are the people I'm really talking about. Coin shows for ANYONE should always be a learning experience and fun. Those that walk in thinking they know it all because they have a Greysheet but NO experience need to wake up or just leave. I feel rather strongly about this. Does it show? ;) clembo[/QUOTE]
