[QUOTE="imrich, post: 2637574, member: 22331"]I believe you'll find that numismatics is still a gentlemans endeavour, but that gentleman is likely to have the demeanor of Warren Buffet. You'll probably find if you do research that a determination of value is a difficult task. I'm slowly selling my estate, and finding that the current market value on many items is ~half of my cost. If you want some coins, I probably have what you want at 10% above my cost. I've kept good records also. If you really want to determine the buy/sell "spread" on items, purchase the grey sheets, subtract 10% for a buy price, go to eBay and find the average sold price for a selling price. Expecting a B & M dealer to operate on a 10% margin is ludicrous, and I suggest that you do some practical research. If you decide to establish a business based on your stated criteria, you may have a thriving business for a very short period. JMHO[/QUOTE]
