<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icerain, post: 1475676, member: 34514&quot;]As a hobby store I would say its considered obsolete. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not one store can possible have a larger inventory than say an online site like ebay, Heritage or Teletrade among many others. You can argue all you want about seeing the coins first. But when so many buyers are more interested in slabbed coins, the idea of seeing the coins first doesn&#039;t become that important to them. Its also much easier and cheaper for someone to just list stuff online to sell. Sadly B&amp;M stores have to compete with these places and most are losing out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another main problem is the &quot;Whats its worth buyers.&quot; Most don&#039;t really care about the collectibility and thats the most important thing that drives the hobby. Its like comic books and baseball cards, when the bubble bursted back in the 90&#039;s thousands if not millions of stores closed across the U.S. And all of that happened because everyone was speculating on the value instead of enjoying the hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
