<p>[QUOTE="bigjpst, post: 1604512, member: 21015"]Three things. One, many coin shops that have a heavy online presence will keep the online inventory separate, so they don't sell something in the store and forget to remove the listing. How mad do you think customers on say ebay would get if they win an auction and get told the item sold..oops. </p><p> Two, many coin dealers do a ton of business with other dealers, bullion deals over the phone, that sort of thing. So keeping a big inventory for the every once in a while buyer in the shop may not be the most profitable for them.</p><p> Three, and probably the most important in answering your question. CoinPlex, and CCE both I think require that you have an actual B&M to buy/sell. Along with a certain dollar amount of inventory. So if you meet the money and inventory requirement, and want to set up an account on either, you would also need to rent space and set up a B&M. I'm sure plenty of dealers do this and never even let customers in without some kind of appointment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
