[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2243400, member: 19165"]Conder, and others, have given you some great answers. While you say the flippant answer "coins" is unsatisfactory... the truth of it is, you are setting up at a coin show. The coins you are offering should be coins you are knowledgeable about. The key to being a dealer is to know more than the buyer. Only you can decide what you'll offer, but it should be material you are familiar with (whatever that may be). You may decide to specialize in a series or two (which can highly profitable), or you may offer a wide variety (which may also be profitable). The key in today's market is to offer high quality, eye appealing, and original coinage. Don't settle for crap. Only buy nice stuff, and only offer nice stuff. Also - honesty is key. Much of the key to being a dealer is to have character. Be someone that people can trust. If I trust you, I'll be willing to deal with you. If not, I won't.[/QUOTE]
