edacraMy favorite is when they have a "half price" section with selected unpriced cards, and then they still look it up in the book to arrive at a price.
Second favorite, when you can't get their attention, because they're deep into some gossip, or too busy looking up cards in the book, one at a time, for someone else.
Third favorite is the dealer who leaves his family watching the table while he's cruising the show, and they don't know how much anything is, and they're not allowed to look it up in the book. So they tell you to come back at some undetermined time.
Fourth, the dealer who parks himself in a prime spot with cases filled of primo goods, none of which are for sale. He's there for self promotion and to wheel and deal with other dealers instead.
Fifth, the price is marked, but the dealer is rude when you want to buy it because he thinks it was priced too low and wants you to know it.
