<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 326119, member: 6370"]I agree...I would say a person who has another primary source of income but sells coins on the side on a regular basis to be a dealer...not a person who sells one or two here and there or does a one time sell of furniture. I would think regular dealings would be required to be a dealer.</p><p> </p><p>This does not apply to me anyway as I dont sell coins at all...but I would say a guy who always engages in auctions and coin sells, but works another job is also a dealer in coins, I would also say a guy who has a stall and an antique mall selling coins, but what he makes on coins is not what supports him as he makes more money in another way...he is still engaged in dealing coins and MAY even be a good person to deal with as it ISNT paying the bills...making it a primary source of income is a bit arbitrary IMO and diverges from the real meaning of a dealer or a person who deals in something.</p><p> </p><p>In fact if I am not mistaken, Joe at Forum Ancient Coins, a well known, well respected dealer in ancients...just recently retired from the navy? Would you say this man who has dealt in coins for many many years and truly knows ancients isnt a dealer and an expert because he is a career navy man?</p><p> </p><p>One can differentiate part time, full time, all my income, supplemental income...half and half...side line, pays the rent, here and there. etc...but in the end, a guy who deals in coins is a dealer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>And this is way off topic so enuff said from me...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
