<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 4802599, member: 44316&quot;]Lots of new firms pop up all the time. The owners presumably think, like some posters here, it is a good (and maybe even easy) way to make money. Many of them go out of business, too, after finding out it is not so easy after all. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to sell coins you have to compete to buy them or get them on consignment (and that is very competitive) and you have to work hard to find a good client base to buy them (at prices that that must be competitive). Now, if there were only a few firms selling ancient coins maybe you could postulate some anti-competitive cabal, but we all know there are over 100 firms on vcoins alone and many auction firms (which you can find on sixbid, numisbids, biddr.ch, etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>You can decide whether ancient coins are worth their cost to you, or not. Fees may seem high, but I think the market is telling us that fees are only high enough to keep some, but not all, dealers in business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
