<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2494587, member: 36230&quot;]Thanks for clarifying.</p><p><br /></p><p>An exit strategy is wise, and you&#039;re right that there can be better options that shop dealers or dealers in general. The thing is, and as you&#039;re seeing, dealers are convenient and you&#039;re, in one way or another, paying for that convenience. This is one (of many) reasons why it is often said buying from a dealer to sell to a dealer is a losing proposition. If one&#039;s only real option is to sell to the same person they&#039;re buying from, they, for all sense and purposes, start out in the hole. Unless you need said convenience, you&#039;d be wise to try and turn the tables by offering convenience to someone else.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is something I have much experience with, but take as you will. Monthly meetings, unless luck is in your side with timing, isn&#039;t a wise exit strategy imo, but it is a potential opening and one of many. I would suggest trying to make as many solid/reliable connections, be it just for selling or buying too, as is possible for your situation. There are a good number of people out there who buy and do so regularly, and many who prefer a reliable source without having to deal with storefronts, shows, <i>paper</i>, etc. Once you&#039;ve carved out a little side market for yourself, as long as you&#039;re reliable and can under-cut shop/show prices, with the right outlets you should be golden, even when prices have somewhat risen. Just don&#039;t get greedy and remember more money can he made in long term relationships than in short. Perhaps it would be best put, and as the old saying goes, &quot;<i>it&#039;s not what you know, but who you know</i>&quot;. I&#039;m sure you get my point. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
