<p>[QUOTE="coins776, post: 1763566, member: 45493"]be a coin dealer. however, they are all rich to start with. it takes plenty of money just to consider being a coin dealer. other than that, my opinion would be, not to try to make money on selling coins. i have been trying to make a profit from selling coins for the past 6 years. and only once did i ever make a profit on any of the coins that i have sold. sure, i have sold many coins, but always at a loss. the problem is, that nobody is really selling the coins at prices low enough that the coins can be flipped for a profit. and another problem is that, once you have spent a lot of money on coins in hopes of selling them for a profit, you just end up losing money everytime. then you spend years of your time and a lot more money just trying to get back the money that you have already lost on selling coins. it is in my opinion, a pointless cycle to get into in the first place. if you want to have more money, then don't spend any money on coins. i would without a doubt have more money if i had never bought any coins or spent any time or energy on coins in the first place. i know all of this sounds very negative, but it is the truth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
