<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 7120, member: 487&quot;]We don&#039;t have any stores. We operate a website, do shows, and have an established customer base. Building customers is not easy, and customer service is what keeps your customers. I can&#039;t stress that enough. Take care of the people that take care of you. Remember customers are the ones that buy and sell to you. Without either, you won&#039;t be in business long.</p><p>Now back to your question. Buying in bulk, you can buy from just about any large dealer. In the beginning, you will have to buy in cash or certified funds. A minimum of 500 ounces at a time. </p><p>Silver Eagles are traded a little differently. If you can get them at $1.40 over melt, that is a fantastic number. Again, this is for 500 ounces or more at a time. Silver closed at $6.05 an ounce, so Eagles will be bought at $7.45 with a retail price of $8.10 to $8.25 </p><p>Now you have to consider what shipping will be on 500 ounces, so that really cuts into the profits. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you plan on selling on Ebay, it is going to take considerably longer to build your customer base. I would not suggest that you start with bullion. Go out and buy some regular collector coins and start there. Go to a few dealers, and buy in serious bulk. This will get you the best prices available. Get yourself a subscription to the greysheet, and stay between the bid/ask price when buying. Lower if you can. Also, pick the coins that are high for their grade. Once you have been buying and selling for a little while, then consider bullion. </p><p>If you put out $3800 for Eagles, and the price fall a quarter, you will lose your shirt quick.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
