[QUOTE="16ga, post: 26783535, member: 121714"]Thanks. The flea market I'm looking at I'd be collecting the money myself so it makes it a little easier to know what i sell. For all the record keeping I have a really old version of coin manage. I try to use it to keep track of how much i spend on each coin and after the sale I can see whats not there anymore. It also lets me keep track of what i sold things for and what my profit was on the coin. For bulk coins that's a little harder but personally as long as I can get the book keeping to come out close I'm happy. I'm hoping it would be close enough for the government too. Coin shows I would love to do but right now my inventory is nowhere close to the coin show guys. I'm hoping if the flea market goes well I could grow my inventory and sometime down the road reach the coin show level. I started out by helping a part time coin dealer who set up a shop at his house. Kept everything locked up and never had any issues after years of sales. I do yard sales both at my place and at other peoples sales. There are repeat customers who know me but I don't know if they know where i really live. So far I've never had issues[/QUOTE]
