Basically, a "<i>seller</i>" simply sells coins, while a "<i>dealer</i>" offers something of value beyond just a physical coin to his customers/clients.

EBay, no matter your views or supposedly selling there "<i>years ago</i>", would give a fine start and much needed experience. If you really want to sell in-person (something I very much respect), hit a few small local shows and talk to some of the guys set up there, then, when ready and when you have at least a minimal worthwhile inventory, perhaps look into renting a table. It's not going to happen overnight, so slow it down, meet people and make your own connections. It seems you're dead set on jumping in face first, but the pool is empty, Josh. Please understand that this is not meant to be an insult, but there is more to being a dealer than simply labeling yourself one and then, maybe, buying and selling a few coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
