<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 2086645, member: 67540&quot;]As someone who has recently transitioned from being exclusively a collector, to a&nbsp; dealer as well, I can speak to a number of points.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. As mentioned, Learn to take losses and make mistakes, if you can&#039;t accept a loss (sometimes even BIG ones) then you won&#039;t make it. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Pricing coins for both buying and selling requires cross referencing a lot of different sources. Sometimes I will look at HA.com, the greysheet, PCGS coinfacts, and CCE, all for the exact same coin. Each one of those sources provides a bit of a different glimpse of the market in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Learn from other dealers, be a student of the business and study hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Learn to grade. Grading is easy to learn and hard to master in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>With these 4 points in consideration you can start buying coins at &quot;dealer&quot; prices basically anywhere coins are sold. eBay, coin shows, auctions, ect. </p><p><br /></p><p>It really just depends at that point how much time/energy/and money your willing to devote to it. Unfortunately its not an easy business to just start doing without a lot prior homework and experience. This is probably why most dealers started as collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
