Message:: [QUOTE="Kevo, post: 930197, member: 24781"]Unless you have a little know how of what it takes to really run your own business, then i feel it is hard to give a good answer to this thread. There are far too many variables to really give it an honest go. There is a huge difference between running a true B&M store, and many of the so called "dealers" that one in the hobby might encounter. You would be able to run a B&M in Dog run WV for less than your electric bill would cost here in N.J. That being said, there are too many other price driven costs of doing business to make this a one vote yay or nay. A high end dealer might drop 2.5 k just to go look at one collection knowing they may not buy it. That same dealer might even wait around the shop an extra hour to appraise your collection only to have you come in with boxes and boxes of superbly organized junk world coins. Even though a loved one spent countless hours stapling them into flips, and peering into a loop it is hard to explain to someone that their collection is essentially worthless. Bottom line, time is money. If you know what you re looking for, and what people are paying for it then you are two steps ahead of the game. If you want pf 70 state quarters, or rolls of 2009 d dimes and knowingly pay a huge sum then dont throw a fit after the fact. It is only business after all.[/QUOTE]
