[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 3541151, member: 20480"]Despite working full-time in another field, and not strictly fitting Doug's definition, I still call myself a dealer. I have undertaken the following specific actions / expenses in order to be effective in this marketplace: [LIST] [*]Conducted business transactions exclusively through business-dedicated bank accounts [*]Established a dedicated business office space [*]Filed my business annually with the NH Secretary of State [*]Registered my business trademark with the US Patent & Trademark Office [*]Paid for professional staging and photography of advertising imagery [*]Copyrighted my advertising imagery [*]Paid to erect a professional e-commerce website [*]Subscribed to monthly maintenance of the website [*]Paid annually for dealer's insurance policy [*]Subscribed annually to paid business periodicals and memberships [*]Offered for resale every coin purchased by the business [*]Filed and paid my tax liability to the IRS annually [/LIST] Moreover, I spend between 24 and 32 hours weekly carrying out my normal business activities. I think the foregoing actions go a long way toward differentiating ToughCOINS from vest-pocket dealer status.[/QUOTE]
