<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 219348, member: 4791&quot;]It does happen.&nbsp; I generally carry a few dollars around when I am at shows. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its funny how if I wear something casual to the show, slacks and a dress shirt, I get attention from most of the dealers, wear a suit and they think your a high spender and ALL of them drool when you get to their table.&nbsp; Me, I ride a Harley Davidson so on weekends I generally wear Blue Jeans and a Harley tshirt, I get ignored alot, I am 49 years old, been collecting for 42 years and have more put away&nbsp; then 90% of the dealers at the shows.&nbsp; Generally I give them a few minutes to acknowledge that I am there, if not I push the issue.&nbsp; Its sad to see how most of the kids are treated at shows, I dont know if the dealers are tuned in for that one big sale or what.&nbsp; I did ask one dealer a while back why he was ignoring me, he told me flat out...&nbsp; YOUR A BIKER.&nbsp; I about fell over.&nbsp; I own a very successful computer consulting company and very well respected in the community. This really ticked me off and I said some things to that dealer that I am sure he wont forget for a while. I ask him how much he would take for everything he had at the show.&nbsp; He told me a number, I said sheesh (not the real word) I paid more than that for my Bike.&nbsp; These dealers do give a bad name to the industry in general</p><p><br /></p><p>All of you YN&#039;s out there please keep in mind they are not all idiots.&nbsp; There are some true genuine dealers out there who care, much like anything else in life, pick and choose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
