I was interested in purchasing a couple dealer showcases because I'll be setting up soon and was curious to find out where some dealers get there showcases from? eBay?
Also, what other necessities are needed for a show.. Table, lighting, loupe, inventory, business cards..
Input is appreciated. Thanks

At least a couple of loupes as well.
A business ledger to keep track of expenses.
2011 Red Book so you can quote retail prices on the sell side, and a greysheet/bluesheet so you can quote lower buying prices
Snacks and drinks because you WILL get hungry.
An assistant, so you can go to the bathroom and don't have to worry about theft as much, or lost sales.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
In addition to the items already mentioned...
A calculator, scratch paper, a few pens or pencils, a receipt book that makes duplicates (some dealers will want receipts if they buy from you), extra extension cords, something to clean the cases with, extra bulbs for your lights.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Light colored shirts that stain easily. (Test with coffee, mustard, ketchup, chili, etc.)
Several cloves of garlic in case your breath gets fresh.
Socks that have not been washed for at least 2 weeks.
A small sprayer of cat pee to enhance the “lived-in” case aroma.
Stale cigarette butts for floor decoration
A copy of the 1957 Blue Book for pricing buying transactions.
A copy of the current Red Book for pricing selling transactions (always double the catalog price).
An ugly, grungy plastic jar filled with last year’s Halloween candy.
A 20-something female table assistant whose vocabulary is limited to “Duhhh. Le’me ask d’a bosz.” But who is so hot they have to turn up the A/C.

One thing you need to have at a show is a money pen trust me you need one.

My thoughts exactly
Do most dealers take Credit cards and thus have a processor?
I already take CC and have a processor for my photographic art and could use that I guess.
TIA

The ones above are really just optional, as many of your buyers will be supplying their own.
Does anyone have those eBay links to the All State cases? I sure would like to get a couple.
As for cases, most shows will rent them to you, so you don't need to bring your own, although many dealers will want their own.
If you don't know about cases, I'm wondering if you know about resale permits etc. ?
