[QUOTE="softmentor, post: 2164337, member: 10469"]Yep, but it is correct. It takes time and work wherever you look. Ebay, time to look through all the other dealers trying to sell retail and finding that one worth biding on and trying to not overbid yard sales - footwork, driving, and searching estate auctions - time to find the one that has product and try not to overbid beach combing / metal detecting - time time time adverting "we buy coins" - cost and time waiting for someone to call, and not over spending inheritance - yea, well.... pocket change - ask anyone in the coin roll hunting section about how much you make compared to the time it takes. The US Mint - they do have a volume rate but they you have to sell that. set up a retail shop - GREAT way to loose a lot of money on rent and payroll, a few make it work but you have to move a LOT of product to pay the bills and you have to wait for people to bring you product and... yes... not overspend coin shows - you and a thousand other people trying to buy low and sell high. A few make it work Buying large lots, but then trying to move all that product and make a profit I'm sure there are other ways, but all take time. and don't forget the old adage, "you make your money when you buy." and don't forget to keep REALLY accurate records for tax time, just in case you do make money.[/QUOTE]
