<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Arizona Jack, post: 541589, member: 9308&quot;]Hey gang, I really really appreciate the accolades and compliments, but if we are not careful, this thread will turn into an advertisement, and thats not the point. I really do thank you tho who have given the thumbs up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Harry, I can sell lower because of far lower overhead AND I am having fun AND I buy right as well. I will have to tighten the screws a tad if this will succeed as a stand alone biz. In this economy, if my job goes by the wayside, this will be my backup.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am very interested in the pro&#039;s on this site opinions and reflections on their 1st year in biz......I wonder if everybody made the same mistakes I have made, learned as fast ( as I think ) I did, and had as much fun. Making a profit is for year 2, many business take 3-5 years to profit, so to write year 1 off as tuition is fair in my mind.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know off hand, we have a bunch of full time numismatists, and 3 of them are full time SELF employed, Charmy Harker, Rick Snow and Mark Feld, and all three have been wonderful with the advise and pointers. C&#039;mon folks, lets here from you as well on your start-up and early years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll close out my thread with some Thank You&#039;s. Jason ( Budgood ) has been instrumental in my success, Chris ( CaveTroll ) is one pro I turn to and always look forward to seeing at shows. Mark Feld has patiently answered my phonecalls and emails and can be trusted for pointblank no bull advise, whether I like it or not ( Thanks Mark <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) Of course, my closest pros and poker partners, Rick and Charmy have been more than great, I ALWAYS look forward to the dinners and games with them. Two of the best copper experts on the planet, I am proud to call them friends.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then you guys on this site, GD is my main man, too many others to name. Rlm has already been mentioned. Clembo, Rlm and I have even roomed together at shows, always a blast. Friends, contacts, customers, buyers , sellers, etc etc, Cointalk is a blast. It has made me a better collector, seller,buyer, blogger, I have done nothing but benefit since I found this site, now that leaves.....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Peter T Davis, The BOSS.</p><p>Without Peter, I don&#039;t think I could have pulled this off. My thanks for Peter are more than I have room to type. Peter, I am not a expert communicator, but my thanks are many and they are often:bow:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My last and most important thank you is to my Uncle Skip in Detroit, who so generously gave me the gift of coin collecting as a youngster, a lifetime hobby and whos nurtering and wisdom has inspired and helped me beyond belief. To quote Yogi Berra, it seems alot more like today than it did yesterday.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lets hear from the rest of you who have taken the plunge....I think we ALL will benefit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
