Do they expect to get any new customers or make any sales with these prices? They complain shows aren't like they used to be but they're the reason why.

Erick, I totally agree, and I believe I met you at the SGC table. I don't mind paying more than I usually do, but when a dealer is selling 33 Goudey beater commons for $30-$40 each, I just scratch my head. When I first started going to these shows I used to fire back with "I've gotten this for half the price on EBAY", but I stopped after it didn't do any good and I would rather not get the look of death from every table.

I walked out of there with a couple good finds in "dollar" bins as well as taking care of some much needed SGC and JSA business.
