<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1989553, member: 41863&quot;]The internet is changing the way the new generation handles and enjoys this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealers stuck in their old ways will have no choice but to adapt or go out of business (or close to it, profit wise). Its just a matter of this &#039;market&#039; we are all so fond of listening to what the consumers of the product want and giving it to them in a fashion that they deem acceptable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every day that passes with the internet around, moves the ticker closer to those of us who rely and utilize the vast world of the internet, this thing isnt going away and this trend is almost irreversible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and 90% or more of my coin purchases are online, and 95% of what I would consider my &#039;Quality Coins&#039; came off the internet. Just a better selection and variety to choose from almost instantaneously.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the coin show and atmosphere and haggling and all of that good stuff, but statistically, i just buy more online where I can compare. Oh and Vic is right, my phone is in my hand the entire time I am walking the floor, simply so I can educate myself on the fly and decide on the best purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thats what every mentor or pearl of wisdom in this hobby hinges on, education and making smart purchases. Vic is just telling us how he does it and why, and from what I can see, he is just using one more tool that he has put into his belt and what he is saying is that even with sparse knowledge he can assemble a collection that would rival a long time collector who had to really put forth the effort.</p><p><br /></p><p>He just has found a shortcut that works for him and has been good to him, whats so wrong with that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
