<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1339682, member: 23885"]Pretty amazing day. There is a new pawnshop in the neighboring county (Southern Maryland Pawn + Jewelry). I talked the guy into opening the shop an hour early so I could look through his coins. Never expected to walk out 8 hours later with a job. Very nice and respectable guys (2 retired Police Officers). Pretty surprised how fast everything happend. Still kind of a blur. We just really hit it off, and he had a massive amount of coins. At first I was just helping him on pricing, and then I was taking pictures for him. Low and behold they offered me a job as their eBay guy. My first sale was actually a WW2 Dagger. The great thing is I don't have to deal with the regular customers. Have my own settup in the back with laptops, lighting, and packaging materials. Ran across an AU+ 10 dollar gold piece today as well as 500+ Mercs (some amazing toning on some). Didn't find any key dates. Besides that all kinds of halves, and low end junk silver. They offered me an hourly pay rate with a 2% commission on sales. Had no idea how mentally taxing everything was. I feel like I just worked 24 hours straight. If it wasn't for cointalk I would never be in a position to earn money off of one of my obsessions. First day was good. We will have to see how everything goes in the future. Very early to tell, but with the massive amount of inventory they have it seems like a really good gig.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Jason[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
