    What happened? Did the table collapse? The one gentleman looks like he’s zipping up a body bag.

    LOL! I had the dealer next to me try to shove my table down so he could wheel his cart behind his table. Yup...it happened and I embarrassed the crap out of myself! I let rip what the F do you think you are doing. You could here a pin drop after that! o:) Took longer to sort the jumbled mess than it did for me to set up. :s Luckily it didn't break any of my cases.

    I can describe that in Croatian, but if I did, I'd probably get banned.

    I thought that was a hospital at first glance. Hope nothing broke.

    Maybe it was one of those Hollywood stunt tables? Glad no one was injured. Any damaged shekels? Peace Roy

    Oh the shock and dismay.... :o Sure hope nothing was ruined....Looks like it was more of a near disaster, than a full fledged disaster. Cheers, RickO

    Ha, I like the body bag. I believe that is a coin case bag or whatever they are called. During the day they hang down around the table and under the cases. Then when time to leave for the night they just fold up the 'bag' and zip it up and lock it. This versus putting the plastic / cloth over the top of the cases.

    Of course it is not fully secured until the chairs go on top. See right edge of photo.

    Maybe he put all the gold on one side of the table.

    I knew that would happen! Just to many gold bars!

    SOMEBODY during setup didn't quite get the locking legs locked on that table.
    Wonder how many more are just waiting...

    Yeah, I watched the same thing happen across the aisle from where I was sitting once.

    I would get a new table…the leg anchors don’t look too good!

  • numismanumisma Posts: 3,877 ✭✭✭✭

    What show was this?

  • skier07skier07 Posts: 4,002 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I thought initially that was a body bag.

  • TreashuntTreashunt Posts: 6,747 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Looks like a body bag for the dealer who didn't realize how much gold had fallen in price and just bought a bag of double eagles.
