<p>[QUOTE="Boxeldercoin, post: 1262911, member: 28494"]How many times have you heard " I love coin collecting so I want to become a dealer and make a living from my hobby." Trust me when I say that once you make your passion your job after a while its not so great. There are exception to this and you can tell which dealers really love their job. When you go to their shops they are always happy to talk coins and coin collecting. How many out there have gone into a coin shop and the person behind the counter was rude or did not even seem to want to help you or was just plain crabby. This type of person has lost the passion for coin collecting and the hobby. Other people that get in to the coin business just see dollar signs and get caught up in making money. These type of people I feel sorry for them as sooner or later their quest for money will leave them with no friends in or out of the business as they see everyone else as competition in buying or selling coins. So my point is if you want to keep your passion for coin collecting keep coin collecting your hobby and when you go into a coin shop and the guy in back of the counter comes off as a jerk do not get mad just feel sorry for him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
