<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mitchell, post: 9611, member: 989&quot;]thanks cdcda.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was really just curious how they get started, not that I am planning to or even really wanting to.&nbsp; There would seem to be too much risk involved for my personal comfort level.&nbsp; My local dealer is an exceptional fellow, that I like, and I enjoy going to his shop.&nbsp; When he is not busy, and can talk, he is a really personable guy.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I opened a shop, I would have to move to another city, because I would not like to affect his business, or be his competitor.&nbsp; Does that sound strange?&nbsp; I buy stuff from him and pay 9.25% tax, and drive across town, when I could get it off the internet cheaper with a free shipping deal delivered to my door.&nbsp; His prices on Silver Eagles are not exactly &quot;competitive&quot; when compared to internet services with no tax (or shipping being 1\2 of the tax), but because I like him, I would rather pay the extra few dollars. But then, like the other day, my total was 34.57 and he called it $34.&nbsp; It is the little things that add up; the thought that counts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have just always wondered how he got started in it, and how the initial financing and inventory building would go, and I wish him all the success in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp; If he retired or went out of business, that may be a different story.&nbsp; But as for now, I want to enjoy the hobby, build a nice collection, and patronize his business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
