So what is it do you hate them or love them.

Scenario- Man walks up to your table and buys all you key semi key and sleeper coins. Lets say the show starts at 9 he has you cleaned out by 930.

What do you have to say???????

Pull all of the inventory out of the case and spend time cruising the bourse cherrypicking yourself.

Maybe you should price your sleepers and key coins higher for the next show.

i would say thank you..then go and try to cherrypick coins elsewhere...

Be thankful someone purchased, close shop and enjoy the rest of the day looking and picking myself.

Really, the whole point about being there is to sell coins. If he cleans you out, that was the purpose to begin with, just took less time. I would then wholesale all the common stuff to make for a really good day, and less to carry.

You didn't WANT to sell coins? whether it be selling common junk or 37 16-D mercs, what's the problem if you got out of them what you wanted? Seems like to me you would have more free time to shop around now for more inventory than just sitting behind your booth.............

A cherry picker is like a coin collector. Wait, a cherry picker is a coin collector.... just a smart one

If you are angry at him, you are not educated with your own inventory. Period.
If you are educated with your inventory, he will make you happier than any other coin collector, for he will be able to carry on an intelligent conversation with you.

Your friend,

Nothing here coming close to the meaning of cherry picking.
Buying a $10 coin that is worth $400----now that is cherry picking (a nice term for cheating)????????????????

Do you mean cheery pickers or cherry pickers; it makes a big difference!

cherry pickers are probably illegal immigrants

The person before the seller didn't realize the rare variety that made the $10 coin actually a $400 coin. Neither this seller nor the one who sold to him deserves the $390 difference. The cherrypicker recognized the variety through education and keen observation. That is the value added. Someone will add that value eventually and realize the step up in valuation. The cherrypicker is the one that deserves it. It is not cheating in any way whatsoever, particularly since the seller is usually a professional in the business, not the little proverbial old lady from Pasadena.

One seller I cherrypicked a rare variety worth over a thousand bucks for about twenty bucks I also pointed out a mint mark he missed that represented a considerable difference in value on another coin. Finny though that mint marks were cherrypicks in a bygone era.

Dealers don't typically sell to other dealers at full retail price. I'm guessing this imaginary dealer is upset because he didn't get to make an ever larger profit by selling to collectors for higher prices.

BUT, no one forced this imaginary dealer to sell to the other dealer. He could have easily said no and held out to sell his coins to collectors for the larger sum of moola.
