<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 1798262, member: 4373&quot;]I&#039;ll have to be really brutally honest here. Unless you have credibility with credentials to back you up, I have to question why I should even donate a penny. Maybe you can do it in your neighbourhood but it&#039;s a very, very small niche market. Why should someone online pay 19.95 when he / she can post a picture of their coins on this forum to identify what it is. I believe there has been a couple of cases in this forum where a couple of really scarce coins have been identified - a lot have doubted their authenticities but have guided them to the right path to have them graded. They did turn out to be genuine. Did that cost 19.95 for them to guide them to the right path? No. Can you guarantee their authencity if you are dealing with thousand dollar coins with known counterfeits? Have you had experience with such counterfeits? Handled them? </p><p><br /></p><p>Envisioning a business idea is good but you cannot just keep on bouncing them here - you will start to burn bridges faster than a rocket taking off especially if you are talking about money. Some might even pinch your genius idea and profit out of it. Confide with a really good friend. At a gloomy economic time like this, people expect more than good value and service - not just some &quot;comments&quot; with little weight. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately with a lot of business, there is no short cut and you must really know your fields and dedicate your time and resources. To combine numismatics and business - not only do you really need to know what you are dealing with but also need to understand business ethics and demonstrate it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And finally, take note of the amount of advices you have received on this forum and classify what&#039;s positive and negative. One outcome is clearer than the other. I personally would like to have get paid to voice my opinion considering the intention of the original post. That includes others as well for them to put in time and effort to &quot;appraise&quot; the business idea. Again you can prove us wrong but it&#039;s just so easy to speculate and commenting on it instead of doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
