<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2529133, member: 76086&quot;]Wow, Doug, you are a gentleman!&nbsp; But, you have been around long enough to know the aspects of the business (though most here have no idea). Yes, I am one of the few who are in business to put food on the table (it is all I do).&nbsp; Yes, I mark my coins up.&nbsp; Sometimes 1% to, well heck, hundreds, but also I lose money.&nbsp; I might pay $100 for a coin and sell it for $5.&nbsp; The bottom line is that when I need to feed my kids, I will sell.&nbsp; They come first.&nbsp; But I also wish to be around so I always hope that I can not only make enough to feed the kids but also buy something else to replace what I just sold.&nbsp; It is very hard and very unappreciated.&nbsp; In the old days dealers were almost always demonized, but I have seen that nowadays it is not so bad.&nbsp; No collectors = no dealers.&nbsp; No dealers = no collectors (though there have been many who have argued (strangely) that it is not so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
