BARBARA , The bottom line answer to your question is: YES, Most dealers do deal or barter. Here are some examples.
Some dealers have what they call "KEYSTONE" A shelf or table labeled as such; these specimens are all 50% off their listed prices or "keystone". Usually the specimens are slightly dinged and/or have been in stock awhile.
Some dealers put stars ( *) attached to the specimen labels. Each star is 10% off the listed price so *** would mean 30% off the price listed on the specimen label. And the pricing guide is displayed adjacent to the specimen shelf or table so customers know exactly what to expect.
As to direct dealing, most dealers do it and each dealer has personal variations and a threshold of how to do it. For example, long time regular customers or people known to the dealer or specimens that have been in inventory awhile or really wanting to make a sale on an expensive item etc etc etc. Many dealing variations and examples could be given, but the bottom line is that dealing does occur quite regularly with most dealers. So Barbara, I would expect some customers to ask you for deals and it is up to you to price your items in a manner that deals can be made to the satisfaction of both you as the seller and your customers. Hope this helps. Have a good show and CHEERS.........BOB

The message board has a swap forum where you can offer specimens to trade with others. This is not a place however to offer things for sale. There are a lot of things here on mindat and it will take you a while to learn what they are. I don't even know what they all are. But welcome and feel free to come back with questions. Mindat has a manual that will tell you how to do things on mindat.

Finally, after countless years, we will be back at the show. Arriving Friday, plan to complete the whole thing. Never accomplished that on previoujs visits.
Hope to bump into you somewhere there. Van, its been a few years since Mt. Mica. Sorry we will miss you.

Normaly the guest exhibitor for the East Coast Show is always mentioned on Marty's website, but not this year. Anyway Carolyn Manchester is the ferfect choice for this exhibition. She is not only always very friendly and very helpfull, but Carolyn also has a superfine taste for the real aesthetic specimens!
Best regards,

Your right, the guest exhibitor for the East Coast Show is always mentioned on Marty's website, but not this year, rather odd.
It only shows in Marty's show poster >> SHOW POSTER
from his main website Marty Zinn Expositions

There are usually 53 cases, 1 main case and 52 regular cases.
