Set Up for My First Show

I've set up at a bunch of coin shows, but this weekend, I set up at a shoe convention...Different crowd. Oh...now this is coin related:

How many pair fit into a case?

dizzyfoxx · February 23, 2008 5:54AM

Something about this thread really smells...

RKKay · February 23, 2008 5:56AM

<< How many pair fit into a case? >>

Generally, 4,000.

RKKay · February 23, 2008 5:59AM

As I was saying, the crowd is very different. My wife said that she'd have no problem if I went to Vegas with my coin buddies, but never with the shoe crowd.

Respectfully, the Thread doesn't smell. It is simply an honorable venture to walk in anothers' shoes and see if the shoe fits for selling coins in this venue. Consider the enjoyment he will have discussing wear, condition, the sole of coin collecting, how to toe the line when spending on coins, the size of a collection, the color people like, and how to stay away from the heels in the coin business, as well as whether or not a coin is a shoe-in for a certain grade. Sounds like a good way to dip the toes in the water and test the temperature for a new place to sell coins. I don't think there will be many arch-enimies of coins at a shoe convention. I can understand planting my feet there. With Courtesy, John Curlis

This has Al Bundy written all over it....

charley · February 23, 2008 6:09AM

OOPS. Make that "enemies". Respectfully, John Curlis

coindeuce · February 23, 2008 6:15AM

Rick, was it a really big "shoe"?? Ed Sullivan may have thought so.

That was my first thought!

RKKay · February 23, 2008 6:24AM

Rrrrrrillllly big.

RichieURich · February 23, 2008 6:25AM

I'm guessing, Rick, that your business is a "sole proprietorship". Fortunately, one of your "arch-rivals" wasn't set up right across from you.

Sorry this wasn't longer, but Charley beat me to most of the punchlines.

MrEureka · February 23, 2008 6:28AM

Rick - That Indian Cent looks like it was toned in a pair of well used penny loafers.

RKKay · February 23, 2008 6:33AM

I'm glad I could set up everyone's jokes.

IGWT · February 23, 2008 6:37AM

Lots of bad punions here.

foodude · February 23, 2008 6:41AM

There's a collectable market for "pattern" shoes?

charley · February 23, 2008 6:49AM

foodude, if there is, he better start stocking up now and pull up his socks and get busy. If he doesn't a competitor will be there when people at the convention slap down their leather to buy. I also don't think that people at this show will be interested in counterfeet coins or corny sales methods. Respectfully, John Curlis

charley · February 23, 2008 6:51AM

PS, please stop encouraging me.Respectfully, John Curlis
