<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 642046, member: 11540&quot;]Every business is going to operate on a different GM based on whats needed to cover the cost of operations. </p><p>Large grocery operations do run on 6 to 7% but the volume they do leave the profit needed to stay in business. </p><p>Small hardware stores need 40 to 50% to stay in business. They do less volume but still must cover the operating cost. </p><p>Clothing stores need 60 to 70%. They need to cover the markdowns on clothes that don&#039;t sell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not sure what a coin dealer would need but I&#039;m sure each is different.</p><p>The dealer with an actual store is going to need more than the one with just a website.</p><p>I would guess a dealer that sets up at lots of shows would need more to cover those cost. At the same time I can see where the increase in business from the show could offset the need for a higher margin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I decided to sell off MPLs right now, I would be asking a really strong price on nice ones and not caring if they sold or not. In my opinion nice matte proofs are really special coins and feel the future prices will reflect that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
