<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2981340, member: 36230&quot;]And thank you for the kind words....</p><p><br /></p><p>I must say, though, that I find what you&#039;ve experienced with the mentioned dealers to be rather troubling, and this is aside from the hobby/enjoyment aspect. Buying a coin from a dealer (unless dealer to dealer and/or a pick, of course) with the desire to profit from it is in so many ways a fool&#039;s errand, and is especially true for folks without an exit strategy set in stone. There are so many others areas in which buyers wouldn&#039;t even consider paying retail from one dealer, only to turn around and sell to another, however long after and while also being able to profit from it, but this is painfully common when it comes to coins. I&#039;ve known many folks who&#039;ve done just this over the years, and short dumb luck, cannot think of a single one that it worked out well for unless long term, but even then it&#039;s far from a guarantee.</p><p><br /></p><p>In truth, this sort of nonsense, along with misinformation, is the biggest reason people leave this hobby, often with a bad taste in their mouths, and is something I&#039;ve witnessed again and again. It may be great to make that sale now, but at what cost? The fact is much, much more can be made off of a long term customer than a one-time sale, especially the type of sales you described above. The sooner more dealers and sellers accept this and start looking out for the greater good, the better this hobby will be for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
