<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1348381, member: 28001&quot;]The coin dealer you mention seems to have a monopoly in that area of MD.&nbsp; In my opinion your competition can improve upon the quallity of the coins that are available to the collectors in the area.&nbsp; I feel there is room for both of you as he offers raw coins (though dipped) and you offer slabbed coins.&nbsp; He may feel you are on his &quot;turf&quot; when it comes to buying coins.&nbsp; So be it.&nbsp; I have a&nbsp; 4 year old &quot;monopoly&quot; in my area with my repair service.&nbsp; If I discovered a newcommer in my area, it would be an opportunity for me to re-examine what I offer to my customers and make improvements if and/or where needed in order to continue offering the very best to my customers.&nbsp; He may or may not take your competition this way.&nbsp; If he does, I believe it is a win-win situation for everyone from the sellers to the buyers.&nbsp; Collectors welcome the abillity to make a choice.&nbsp; By being another buyer and by your offering of slabbed coins, you directly or perhaps indirectly help educate collectors as to what is a good coin vs. not so good (or just melt value).&nbsp; Even though he may be offering fair buying prices, he&#039;s been leading people into believing a bright white or red coin (though dipped) is more desireable to an original coin with less than desireable appearance and charging for a higher grade as a result.&nbsp; If he becomes upset with you, I believe it is his problem not yours and it is probably a result of his dishonesty.&nbsp; Hopefully, this will result in some good old fashioned friendly competition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
