<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1604021, member: 26302&quot;]I think they will always be around, but mainly function as buying shops. Today, the typical business model for a BM shop is buy locally, maybe sell bullion locally and at local shows, and sell all of the better stuff online or through your own mailing list. I have a dealer like this near my house thankfully. Been in the world coin business since the 70&#039;s, and is always kind of shocked when someone comes in to buy. He now throws a few things aside he thinks I may like, but you can tell he is not set up to sell retail in any way. I stop by every so often, basically so I get first picks before his WCN ad runs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish there were more retail nowadays in coins, but business is business, and dealers will do what they need to to survive. I do not begrudge them their current business model. I consider myself lucky there is a world coin dealer nearby, most cannot claim that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
