<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 550330, member: 16060"]I talked with a gentleman one night in the Tampa area that had an ad running in the paper for almost 2 months. He said he would never do it again. He had gotten very few calls, and the visits he did make to the few appointments he made were a total waste of time. This is in an area of 3 million+ people. I'm sure this must work for some people and maybe he didn't do a good job of it or gave up too quickly. I would think you would also have to be caeful of where you are going, some people one doesn't need to meet. I also don't think I would want my phone number published I was buying gold and silver. The stapler you are totally correct if a stapler is needed. One dealer on ebay ships all their coins in airtites, but their S/H is a little more costlier. I don't think one would have to go any further than Coin Talk to find out what type of camera to purchase. I should have mentioned that of course there would be some other startup costs, but I thought it would be stating an obvious. As for fleamarkets I've been to two in the area because of seeing them mentioned here on Coin Talk. I did not see any coins being sold and the customers present did not appear as though they would be interested in purchasing coins. I don't mean anything bad by that, just a fact as I saw it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
