<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prethen, post: 26277, member: 1756&quot;]National Coin Delaer....thank you very much!&nbsp; That was a wonderful thread on becoming a dealer that you pointed out.&nbsp; It appears by the first message in the thread you&#039;re saying don&#039;t get into the business unless you get in with both feet.&nbsp; Actually, I respect what you said very much, hence, why I feel a bit overwhelmed with thinking about doing this for fun, part-time.&nbsp; Your thread starts out by saying that some fairly major expenses need to be incurred in order to not get severely burned (insurance, safes, licensing, etc.).&nbsp; I do plan on joining the ANA, but the other stuff seems quite overkill for the small-time business I was thinking of doing.&nbsp; I got the idea to get into this from another guy who is also a part-time dealer (first a collector).</p><p><br /></p><p>You mentioned that the post office rarely pays out on coin claims even though it has been insured.&nbsp; Your note here correlates with what another dealer told me since he never insures his mail since they&#039;ve failed to pay.&nbsp; Is it safe to say that it&#039;s a complete waste of money to insure coins through the U.S. mail?!?!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmm... you&#039;ve given me some food for thought.&nbsp; I guess you could say I&#039;m a bit more nervous about jumping into the formal coin dealing waters.&nbsp; ...Maybe I can find a way to work with a current dealer...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
