[QUOTE="Prethen, post: 26238, member: 1756"]I've been mulling over becoming a coin dealer (part-time) for months now. I know of someone I can purchase a decent amount of coins from that can become my "seed stock". My personal collection is too limited to be the starting point of my dealer stock. And, besides, I really don't want to part with most of my collection anyway. So, first off, let me answer the questions that are probably hitting your minds right now..."Yes, I am sick in the head" and "Yes, I realize I'm not in it to make a ton of money." I want to do it because I love the coin hobby, love being around coins and dealers (see... I AM a little sick!), and I want to make a little money on the side. Personally, I plan to treat every potential customer/collector with respect and fairness. I want to basically concentrate only on U.S. coins and mainly on Type coins (not too much on the modern stuff). I'd like to break into coin dealing as inexpensively as possible (beyond the initial stock I'll have to purchase which will be a bit expensive). But, I want to start out right and not immediately with a bad impression. My method of selling at first will be local coin shows. I would appreciate any advice from dealers and collectors alike. Thank you![/QUOTE]
