[QUOTE="Siggi Palma, post: 1655584, member: 18255"]Good evening folks and long time no nothing, When I started 4 years ago selling coins and banknotes I often thought of the idea of opening up a store in Iceland but the thought never took off from being a nice dream. The more I have thought of it the more I hated the idea of going trough my life with out giving it a try. So about 6 months ago I decided to open up a store. There are three reasons I took the decision to go into this business now firstly there is no store that caters to collectors in Iceland. Coins, banknotes, stamps ect. Second the rise of newcomers all of a sudden to our hobby and third the exploding tourism in our country. But with three good things I was faced with many problems right from the start. The hardest of them all was to find a local for my shop. Down town Reykjavik is very small and housing for stores is taken or way to costly for a company that is mostly all questions. But last week a the perfect place for my store came to me trough friends and I took it right away. The second biggest problem is finding display cabinets and tables and in the end I will build them my self with a help of many of my closest friends who are in this business. So next April my new store will open and with a smile on my face a new chapter will start in my life. This makes me feel at ease as I can always say if this does not work out " I gave it a go " But by god I will do my best to make this work :) I will keep everyone posted on the process and have some photos All the best Siggi[/QUOTE]
