[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1986929, member: 36230"]Surprise, surprise.... How did I know this all wasn't just a general question, but had something to do with one of your grand business ideas? If "[I]helping people get the coins and bullion they want[/I]" was your main concern, you wouldn't be asking a question that shows profit is indeed your main concern. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but at least be straight about it. As for the above question, perhaps you can explain why people fully capable of buying on their own, at better prices and from someone with a solid reputation, would rather pay up for an unknown and unproven to do it for them? For all sense and purposes, the only type of buyer that may be interested in such a service (from you) would be someone who does not know any better [I]and[/I] does not care about overpaying. This, just like the grading service, ASE slabbing service, and every other get rich quick coin business idea you've put forth, just isn't going to work, at least on the level you're hoping. Josh, these ideas are nothing new; they've been thought of and/or tried many times before and usually fail for very good reason. This business, as with most any businesses, just isn't as simple as throwing up a website and sitting back to watch the money flow in. I know how bad you wish to be taken seriously as a "[I]dealer[/I]" or "[I]businessman[/I]", but rehashed schemes is not the way to do it, especially when they're based on a board populated by many who've seen such schemes come and go more times than they probably care to remember. If I were you I'd focus more on price than selection at this point in time, especially since we're talking about widely available and easily obtainable material here. No one is going to rush off to your site because they know you've a handful of this or that, but if the price is right and consistently competitive, they're more likely to at least take a look.[/QUOTE]
