<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1798056, member: 75105&quot;]I had a thought today on how to become a dealer on a very small budget.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought of getting some business cards made up to refer people to my site, offering a appraisal service for $19.95.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know some people will send in a bunch, and some will send in a little. I figure the time and money it takes to appraise just a handful of coins will balance out with a larger appraisal.</p><p><br /></p><p>This would generate &quot;leads&quot;, or clients.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course a seller would have to pay for shipping and insurance both ways, but it would be worth it if they don&#039;t have a&nbsp; coin shop in their area. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then once I get...say $500 built up from appraisals, start putting &quot;offers&quot; in with the appraisal. If they have a coin I appraised for $90 (price from numismedia FMV) making an offer for say $70, which of course they can reject or accept.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then any money made from the sales, can be used to purchase more coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then with a dual income source (appraisals + coin profits) I could end up becoming a &quot;part time dealer&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m giving this some serious thought, but would like to hear opinions from others[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
