<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5140225, member: 101855&quot;]When I was graduate school, I did a paper on malls and how they collect their revenue. There are &quot;anchor stores&quot; and then there is everyone else. “Anchor stores” include all of the big names that are usually at the end of the hall in a mall. They get sweetheart deals to come into the mall.</p><p><br /></p><p>The others have to pay for their walls in the mall and their interior designs. Their rent includes a percentage of their sales. I don’t know a coin store can make it under those conditions given the usually low mark-ups that dealers get. I know the mark-ups are getting higher, but I don’t know that it would be enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Add to that the cost of security, during the day and night. I don’t see how a coin store can pay for all of that and compete with the on-line operations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
