I wish more Dealers would post pics of their booths at shows....

I didn't make it out to Long Beach this year. however, Thanks to @illini420 with Mike Kittle Rare Coins I was able to purchase from his booth with him sharing pretty good pictures from the BST forum. I wish more dealers would post their Booths in the BST and give those a chance that didn't make it out.

I love WWII era coinage, I love Sample slabs, And I love NGC fatties.

Not understanding what this would help with. Almost all at the same-old same-old thing - flat and featureless. A few seem to make an attempt at presenting an attractive and interesting appearance, but those are balanced by the 5-year old "We Buy GOLD" signs drawn in marker on foam core board....

I wonder what would happen is a lot of dealers got some marketing and public-presence assistance and really tried to look contemporary, innovative, interesting and maybe -- just maybe -- awake.

I think a better way to state it would be "I wish dealers would post pics of their inventory on the BST prior to the show",
with this example being:

The problem with that is that an in-person sale is a done deal, whereas an online sale my involve a return. While some dealers certainly will pull coins out of inventory at a show when they sell online, I think many would wait until the show has ended to fulfill online orders, at least if it's to an unknown buyer.

Always have to give the benefit of the doubt there. I bought an iPhone just for the ebay app so I could end coins as I sell them at a show. Has worked well for me so far after 3 years. Knock on wood...never had a return from a coin I sold at a show!

Good point - a coin could be paid for online but sold at a show if online sales are not carefully monitored.

I was mainly thinking it might be helpful for buyers going to the show to see an inventory list in advance,
so they could make plans to visit the table early.
