<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 440934, member: 15309&quot;]I think it sounds like a great opportunity to learn from someone with extensive experience.&nbsp; However, there are probably elements of a modern day coin shop that he won&#039;t be able to help you with much.&nbsp; This sounds like a Brick &amp; Mortar shop.&nbsp; I personally don&#039;t understand how B&amp;M shops stay in business with the overhead involved without an equally successful Internet store that helps with revenue.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t have the computer skills necessary to start and operate an online website for the store, you may get yourself in trouble.&nbsp; Furthermore, you will need expert level coin photography skills as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have considered opening my own online coin business for years but feel that numismatic knowledge as well as computer and photography skills still need work before I can do so.&nbsp; Lastly, I don&#039;t have the initial capital required to purchase a coin inventory to start so I would need to prove to investors that my business plan and skills will give them a decent return on their money.&nbsp; I fear that the only way I could ever realistically pull it off would be to use my personal collection as my starting inventory.&nbsp; Something I am not willing to do at this time. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t be worried about his age, I would be worried about how much money he wants for his business.&nbsp; Just my two cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
