<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 2085576, member: 24544&quot;]If I were to start I would go down two path&#039;s.&nbsp; Find some local shows in your area, I have a couple within an hour each year.&nbsp; I think table&#039;s cost around $20 to rent.&nbsp; Set up there, talk with other dealers, and see what they will sell you. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other path would be selling on ebay.&nbsp; It will take a while to build up enough sales to so that people trust you, but the fees are reasonable and the customer base is huge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, I would pick a specialty and become an expert.&nbsp; Once you start to specialize in coins you begin to see lot&#039;s of bargains on ebay.&nbsp; Coins that sell for reasonable prices because non-specialists don&#039;t realize what they are. For instance, I collect large cents, late dates in particular.&nbsp; While I don&#039;t consider myself an expert, I have been able to cherrypick lots of coins on ebay, then turn around and sell them to collectors who specialize in that area for a little profit.&nbsp; I have no desire to become a dealer, but if I had the time and motivation I am fairly sure I could have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck in your endeavor if you decide to become a coin dealer.&nbsp; As a retirement gig I think it sounds like a lot of fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
