<p>[QUOTE="Emoticon, post: 1509097, member: 38428"]I havent been to many shows and defer to the veterans. I was recently shopping at a show, and asked a dealer to let me take a closer look at some higher end older blue seal notes I've had my eye on for a while. I asked the dealer what he wanted for them and while digging out his book he got side tracked by another dealer. The dealer left several hundred dollars worth of notes on the display case in the open in front of me. I tried to get his attention again to close out our transaction (I was planning to buy if they were reasonable), but it seemed shy of walking over and dragging him away from his dealer buddy he wasn't going to break away. I finally got a bit peeved and said loudly "I guess I'll buy from someone else who is interested in selling" and walked away leaving their couple hundred worth of notes laying on the counter and out in the open and they seemed not to notice. What would you do? Normally, I wouldn't have a problem walking away like that except there was a lot of money on the table someone could have easily walked off with these dealers off in La-La land. It's not my responsibility to protect their merchandise, but at the same time it would really ruin my day if so done did steal from them and then the dealers pointed at me for the theft. What would you do?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I bought some circulated low end red seal 2's not for any kind of investment or anything I just liked they way they look.
