<p>[QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1475688, member: 35203"]To me my bigger beef with B&M's and online sources are too many are simply bullion distributers or middlemen. Yeah it's what's white hot right now but some are just abandoning coins and currency outright. I have 6 B&M's close by. 1 I liken the guys in there to someone who would rather sit day after day and look at their collection than sell anything to you (it's god complex, high ask price, lowball bid price), the other doesn't have the selection because they don't get the traffic and enough people selling them anything, one was bad to sell good to buy that after expansion has left lowball when selling and high retail prices, the last one has pretty fair prices both buy and sell but has gone bullion and gold and silver coins almost exclusively. That leaves me my two regular shops that I always visit to buy or sell and now I found out I'm losing one guy to retirement at the end of this year with no definate buyer but 3 interested parties one of which only wants his location/store name and phone number..lol. Ya just can't win I tells ya.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
