jay behrensquality, I dare you to go to show dressed like a bum and approach a dealer see what kind of reaction you get from him. Everyone is judged based on how they look, even the slovenly dressed dealers get judged by the people attending shows.
When I set up at shows I would sometimes dress really nice and wear and tie. On one occassion, I picked up a nice collection of Goudeys and Diamond Stars because the elderly lady selling them said she wanted to sell them to me becuase I was the only dealer there wearing a tie.
Don't kid yourself. As much as we like think we are beyond judging someone by theri apperance, it happens all the time.
