<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1664902, member: 36864&quot;]I can&#039;t understand why someone that is not interested in coins would try to sell coins in the firt place, but maybe he thought there was a good chance of success.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But there are several things that you can do to earn money selling coins.&nbsp; Obviously the current buisness model is not working, so try another method.&nbsp; I know a few sellers that simply market date runs of modern coins of rolls that they have squirrled away.&nbsp; Many collectors, including myself, aren&#039;t very interested in modern coins but like to keep their collections up to date.&nbsp; The easiest way for me to do this is to buy a five year or so date run at a small premium off of ebay and update my albums.&nbsp; Maybe not the smartest way of collecting, but for me it works and leaves time to persue the older, rarer coins that I like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another way is to simply market coins that another dealer owns.&nbsp; Just mark up the price a bit, hope someone bites, then buy it from the dealer and ship it out.&nbsp; You can also use this method with common mint products, just be careful that shipping dates are not too far away.&nbsp; Using this method, you can sell coins that you don&#039;t have to buy until they are sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>A more complicated way is to study market trends.&nbsp; For example, when the statehood quarters came out, older quarters in the series skyrocketed in value because all of the new collectors wanted to collect the entire collection.&nbsp; This is a really obvious example, but you get the point.</p><p><br /></p><p>People that say that there is no way to be a collector and profit on coins at the same time are, in my mind, uninformed.&nbsp; There is plenty of money to be made buying and selling coins if done properly.&nbsp; We know that this is the case or there would be no dealers at all.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
