<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wgpjr, post: 1605003, member: 22482&quot;]I&#039;ve had dealers ask me for a list of wants, but I personally just like to browse their inventory.&nbsp; I&#039;ve impulsed buy numerous coins as they &quot;spoke to me&quot; if you will.&nbsp; I collect a wide array of coins, so I&#039;m not opposed to getting a 2 cent piece versus a Peace dollar that I need.&nbsp; I guess I&#039;m lucky in that there are several coin shops within a hour&#039;s drive that have a nice inventory of stock on the floor that I don&#039;t run into these types of problems that are present in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also sell on the side.&nbsp; I rent a booth from a local &quot;flea market&quot; type of store for $25 a month.&nbsp; I buy from local estate / consignment auctions and then resell for at least 2x to 5x amount I paid for them.&nbsp; I keep the prices lower than their &quot;red book&quot; price as to look like I&#039;m giving people really good deals but still make enough for profit.&nbsp; I&#039;ve done alright in this aspect.&nbsp; I do this as 1) supplement my hobby income and 2) to learn how the public around here buys coins.&nbsp; My step-dad is opening up a gun shop in a few years and I have talked to him about wanting to sell coins within his store.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been getting him into numismatics as he has gotten me into guns.&nbsp; So eventually I&#039;ll be selling coins through his store and using the knowledge I&#039;ve learned from the &quot;flea market&quot; selling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
