<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3079054, member: 27832&quot;]I think I get the general drift of what you&#039;re saying, although I&#039;m sure there are people out there <i>trying</i> (to make a living only by buying and selling coins) while being woefully ill-equipped for the job.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like trawling for treasure on eBay, but it would take more than 24 hours a day to replace the income from my day job. I think [USER=43130]@C-B-D[/USER] spends a lot more time there than I do, and thanks to his good eye and specialized knowledge, he&#039;s likely to catch a lot more good stuff than I would even if our time were equal -- but even for him, I don&#039;t know if eBay-camping turns out to be a tenable full-time gig.</p><p><br /></p><p>A &quot;dealer&quot;, as I imagine you imagine one, can&#039;t afford to wait for lightning to strike; he has to have <i>dependable</i> traffic into and out of his inventory. And the only <i>dependable</i> thing on eBay is overpriced good stuff, cheap bad stuff, and, oh yeah, overpriced bad stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the surprises are entertaining, and sometimes lucrative.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
