<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2449186, member: 36230"]If selling generic by type, be it slabbed or raw, select and sell only very solid examples for the grade, particularly if raw. Slabbed is somewhat less important, of course, but even so, I'm sure you know as well as I that buying generic can be a crap shoot. If you remove this from the equation, it has been my experience that you'll greatly increase the chances of repeat buyers, as well as up the likelihood of them taking an interest in other more profitable material you may sell, which seems to be your end goal.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's tough to do what so many others already are, but with time and patience, one can certainly still set themselves apart. Over the years I learned the biggest hesitation people have when considering such a purchase is ending up with a dog. Yes, I understand that margins are often very slim on such material, so being selective isn't quite as easy as it is with other coins, but Walmart doesn't make money on milk (if you know what I mean). In a business that relies so heavily on repeat business, a little less now can pay off, sometimes handsomely, down the road.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
