<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2569552, member: 24314"]Developing a relationship w/local dealer is the best way to get coins at good prices once you are "IN." It will take some time and some purchases on the high side in the beginning. You my confine your buys to generic stuff like proof sets that should not be way over priced. Key is go visit plenty and ALWAYS leave some money behind. Do not question any prices or grading. If you come across anything that does not fit your interests, take them to the dealer and give him a price he loves. Ask if he ever needs help doing the yearly inventory you can help. Just be a nice friendly guy and buy stuff. Show him a coin (tell him your wife gave you a present) and ask what he thinks about it. Remember, he knows more than everyone...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Over time, you should get some great prices, get to look at Newps, have a place to hang out, and best of all you'll get to put stuff you cannot afford on layaway!</p><p><br /></p><p>We had almost a dozen coin shops in the metro area.
