Message:: [QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2041201, member: 41863"]The problem seems to be like everywhere else, less dealers taking a chance and more folks moving to an online venue to buy and sell. I am actively looking for easy ways to generate income for the club to tackle some of these problems. You are misunderstanding me on the engaged audience. I am saying that most of our members don't even know how to sell their coins and are relying on dealers to buy them or things like craigslist. That's not an engaged audience. Most dealers are hawking for the chance for them to make money and often giving around 50% for the coin to the club member. What I am proposing is simply putting those same coins up for sale at retail at a show where people are looking for collectible coins. Not a way to further their business or take advantage of an elderly person. I also think it would be a service to the club members as they would be closer to getting top dollar instead of 20-50% below wholesale. 10% below retail is a much better scenario. I also agree this needs talked about among the club. I was just seeing how dealers would feel about the competition aspect. I also have several other ideas to help boost this show, just none of those ideas would really be worth discussing here as they are location relevant or involve making a new club and merging it with the current one. Things like that.[/QUOTE]
