Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1870059, member: 112"]You are so wrong on that you can't even imagine how wrong you are. 80% or more of all the business that a dealer does is with other dealers. Ya think ? Tell me how well you'd manage to exist without a grocery store, or a clothing store, or a car dealer, or a gas station ? Sure you could go to the farmers, or the clothing factories, or the car factories, or the oil refineries, direct. But I'd bet you anything that if you had to, you fall down on your knees and beg to have them all back. Same thing with coin dealers. They don't just fill a void, they fill a need. And who do ya think the mint is ? The mint is the biggest coin dealer of all ! And if you think you could get by collecting coins if there were no coin dealers because you buy from collectors ? I REALLY wish ya luck with that. Dealers are the ones who do all the work. They travel all over the country, constantly, looking for and trying to find those coins that they know they can sell, mostly to other dealers, but a few to collectors too. And if that went away - then nobody would have coins. It would be like you going out to find farmers and ranchers every week when you needed groceries. You'd get mighty hungry in a hurry. But you believe what ya want.[/QUOTE]
