<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1151794, member: 23368"]First of all, don't quit your day job. You will need to fist start out as a part time dealer or whats known as a vest pocket dealer. I also hope your properly capitalized in order to buy when the opportunity presents itself. Another flag here is your comment of just starting out to be a collector and already you want to be a dealer. Will you be buying correctly? Will you be able to tell when you have a good wholesale price? Will you be able to sit on some of your inventory while you wait for the correct buyer to come along? That said, I would recommend you go to the larger shows were they have dealer day prior to opening up to the public. It may cost $100 or so to get early entrance, but if this isn't affordable, you are telling me your under capitalized before you start. You probably should join the ANA so you have something going for your legitimacy. These dealers are going to be talking about spending $1000+, and you being new, will need to have cash on hand. It's never as easy as it looks. We all would be dealers if it was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
