Why $2,000 minimum BUY threshold by dealers at LB Show?

Why $2,000 minimum BUY threshold by dealers at LB Show? The dealer advertising that he buys at the coin show, says (because of tax laws) that he isn't allowed to purchase coins valued under $2,000. I assume that's in total, if more than one coin. I've never heard of this rule. Is this an actual tax related law?
