<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 272466, member: 4552&quot;]In reality I don&#039;t think there will to many coin stores or shops in the near future. It is way to easy to just go to a coin show every weekend. I&#039;ve met a few dealers that used to have a store but now find between the internet and coin shows, there is way more money to be made and very little overhead. At a coin store you have to sit and wait for customers but at a coin show there are many, many customers there. Of course there is compitition, but still can&#039;t beat hundreds or even thousands of potential customers. This is true of many other items also. One person I know used to have a photo studio and camera store. He gave that up and now uses ebay exclusively. He to said little to know overhead and much more profit. I&#039;m afrain coin stores will soon be a thing of the past. Remember a store has electric, gas, water, phone bills, Insurances, possibly a helper. Maintenance on the store and of course the possible security being mentioned here. Of course in some areas there are few coin shows but ebay and web sites compensate for that. In this area we have a constant 3 coin shows a month and all within several miles. Occationally some additional larger ones also. At a coin show a dealer rents a table, comes in, goes out and that is that. So between those and the internet, why ever bother with a store.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
