<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1261418, member: 31533"]No, you haven't offended me or insulted me at all, I think I just reacted viscerally to your statement. (That and I tend to be like Slappy Squirrel sometimes). I may not even be who you are looking for an opinion from, as I have never been a coin dealer. I have, however, sold on eBay and did not the best, I saw the I sold it on Ebay B&M franchise at Clackamas go from a start-up to out of business within a year and the owner/franchisee losing all his money basically because he was confident that he would be able to make a go of it. I also saw my sister's franchise of 1800GotJunk operate for 5 years before she had to sell due to the poor economy not making it feasible for her to continue it. I helped her out and saw first-hand some of the things that go on in a business, including the initial writing of a business plan, and the money lost to bad checks and bad credit cards, employees that didn't care, etc. </p><p>Yes, you could make it work, there are many success stories out there of people without a dime to their name making huge successes of themselves and I hope you are successful at what you do. But the majority don't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
