Table Dealers at Local Shows

[Rich Klein]

When I'm both promoting and setting up at a show I can not be as talkative to collectors as I would wish. However, fine dealer/Collectors like Matt (Laxcat) take up that slack for me.

BTW -- Matt I will have more cards for you the next time I see you. That stream I can always find you more cards at no matter what, even when I start a show with nothing. Last show Roger N took care of the majority and then my former Beckett teammate Jeff got you a few more

Our experience with card dealers at shows and flea markets has been disappointingly, annoyingly similar to Kevin's. No excuse for it.
It often seems they've gone out of their way to be inattentive, uncooperative, condescending, and unfriendly for the sole purpose of
later being able to grouse about how little they sold.

There was a thread here last fall asking for advice for "first-timers" setting up at a card show. All the good advice given there in reply
seems to us to be good advice for any dealer, whether they've set up once or a thousand times, and we'd put things like "a friendly attitude"
and "acknowledge every potential customer" at the top of the list, with "realistic prices" and "prices clearly marked" close behind...

That was the first time I had done this show in quite a bit to get rid of some stuff. I am sure I spoke to some of you and cant say I witnessed any of the references. For me this is all fun which I had. The people I was with were good company. there are definitely quite a few guys that still dont get it and pay $400+ a table and have garbage. That is just something to expect.
