<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1261456, member: 26302"]I think you are entitled to a learning curve, but jumping into a business like this will make a very expensive learning curve I believe sir. I understand about putting together business plans and the like, i have put them together as well, (taught how to do it as well). My point was that most business plans will be rejected if you do not have experience in the industry. A friend wanted to buy a pizza place once, and in the contract he, (at my suggestion), put in the seller had to stay on for 4 months and show him how to run it. He never stops thanking me, since he said he would have been hosed by vendors, and had no clue how to handle various problems that come up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, that is why I was suggesting working in the industry for a while to learn. Business degrees, business plans, and the like are fine, but nothing teaches a man how to do a job better than doing it day in, day out. I have been a collector for over 30 years, have graded umpteen thousand coins, and I would never think of doing what you propose without having some experience actually running a shop and seeing transactions take place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion WarriorPoet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
