<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1486123, member: 19463&quot;]It was pointed out to me once that being a dealer was better than being a collector because you get to handle many, many more coins and have to opportunity to learn more about more coins as they pass through your hands.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a dealer.&nbsp; Most coins never escape once in my grasp.&nbsp; I believe either method works.&nbsp; What I do not see is the middle ground.&nbsp; Those are the collectors who buy at retail and sell at wholesale to raise cash to buy more coins at retail.&nbsp; Those are the people who will sell any coin they have without bothering to learn more than their cash value.&nbsp; Many of these people now call themselves dealers - a status easier now with eBay and vCoins - but are no more a true dealer than is someone who has a yard sale is a &#039;fashion merchandiser&#039;.&nbsp; &nbsp; I suggest we each decide honestly whether we are into coins or into buying and selling.&nbsp; They are different hobbies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
