[QUOTE="JPeace$, post: 1985593, member: 42727"]Vic, I agree with much of what you have stated in this thread. The coin industry is changing. Because of the internet, people are buying more and more coins without ever talking to or stepping into a dealer/B&M store. Those dealers that don't adapt will wither and die. However, that being said, I think it is also WISE to try to develop a relationship with a dealer. Someone you can trust. Someone that is connected. Someone who has access to coins that you want that may never hit the internet (eBay, HA, Legend, DLRC, etc...). I hope to find one for myself. IMO, it's smart to use all the tools available to acquire coins for your collection. I've bought almost all my coins via the internet. But, I'd still like to find a trusted dealer who's out there searching for coins that he/she knows I might like. IMO, it's an additional set of eyes. That good, trusted dealer will likely have his own network in which you can draw upon. I want them to open up avenues to coin in which I don't have access to or the time to access. I'm not sure if the dealer will be eliminated, or whether the coin show will fade into the sunset, but while they are available, I'm want to use that tool.[/QUOTE]
