[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 804610, member: 8247"]It depends on your target customers. When I was younger, I was frustrated that I couldn't find much in the way of paper money in local coin shops. Same thing with error coins. Of course, I now realize that at the time, there was a very limited market for those types of items. I would think that your inventory should cater to the type of crowd that your store might attract. You will have a much different type of audience in a show than in a physical store front than in a mall store. So, first question is, what type of coin store and what type of location? PS. a cool idea that I saw when I was younger was a "coin and barber shop". The two worked really well together because the barber shop always had waiting customers. Looking through coins for sale was the perfect way to kill time and often ended up with sales to people would ordinarily never set foot in a coin store. I imagine the concept would work for any type of business that normally has waiting customers: =Doctor's office =Hair Salon =Eyeglass Store =Department of Motor Vehicles Just thinking out loud here.[/QUOTE]
