You might think I'm being some kind of a jerk, especially after your 'Umm - thanks?" comment/question. But I'm being fully serious if you want to get attention for buying stuff at a card show. Honestly tell me what other suggestion(s) by anyone else in this thread will likely get you more actual attention for what you want, faster and quicker than what I've suggested. Everything I stated is 100% logical, makes perfect sense, and/or is true. If you don't want some completely honest advice, don't go asking for it.

Sorry Bob! I thought your suggestions were tongue in cheek… now I get it! Set up a fake briefcase of $$ and a faux security guard.
I read your post too quickly - it actually sounds pretty funny (and could be effective, especially if I did this multiple times AND landed a few bigger deals this way to legitimize the gag set up.
I’ll have to think about whether I am up for that… but it is a clever idea. Again, sorry… I thought you were goofing with me. Apologies!
