<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 139835, member: 648&quot;]Generally I agree with that post, GDJMSP.&nbsp; As a full time dealer my philosophy is this.&nbsp; If I can&#039;t sell a coin or collection right away at a profit...in other words, if I can&#039;t pick up the phone and sell it to another dealer or established customer RIGHT NOW then I have no reason to buy it.&nbsp; The last thing I want is to be in a position where I have paid over wholesale for an item...then I have to wait......and hope......and wait.....and hope for a retail buyer.&nbsp; And since most every customer that comes into my shop these days has a greysheet in their shirt pocket, retail seems to be a thing of the past anyway.&nbsp; </p><p>I (like all other coin dealers) make my living on the flip.&nbsp; I buy it, then move it out and recoup the money for the next deal.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get me wrong...I buy fairly.&nbsp; I generally figure stuff I&#039;m buying at a few bucks less than I can get for it.&nbsp; And sometimes I might even hold an item for a few days hoping it will sell for a few bucks more in the store...or perhaps on ebay.&nbsp; But I work hard to stay on top of who&#039;s paying how much, and for what.&nbsp; That way I can keep the material and money constantly churning.&nbsp; That&#039;s the only way to pay the bills.</p><p>My advice to the OP is shop the collection around to differnt dealers in your area.&nbsp; Don&#039;t let anyone cherrypick you.&nbsp; If you want to sell it all, tell the dealers that up front.&nbsp; Don&#039;t let them buy only what they want.&nbsp; </p><p>Good luck!</p><p>tradernick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
