[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2533652, member: 20480"]It can sometimes be a battle. You never know which shows will be good and which will not. That depends on what you have to sell, what the weather is like, if there was another show the week before, when auctions occur, if it's tax season, if there's a holiday that weekend, if it's during the Christmas shopping season, etc. Eventually - perhaps ten years hence - I hope to have many more regular visitors to my website, but that depends on my ability to photograph and list fresh material much more frequently, which I cannot afford the time to do pre-retirement. Right now, any losses I experience, I chalk up to subsidizing the growth of my customer base. I don't have to make a lot of profit right now, as long as I build my business successfully. That means selecting the right kinds of coins for my customers, and offering excellent customer service. For those whose sole goal is to sell off their coins at a near term profit, the above approach obviously does not work.[/QUOTE]
