<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 1605626, member: 17555&quot;]Although I agree with Dude regarding the changing landscape and employment of sales channels in the coin hobby, I have to side with Doug regarding what defines a coin dealer. &quot;Most&quot; collectors will sell from time to time to fund their hobby, to upgrade, and to liquidate portions of their collection that they no longer enjoy... however, they remain in the &quot;collect&quot; mode. I do not consider those folks dealers, they are collectors selling to other collectors and dealers. As to those employing the new sales channels to primarily sell while also keeping their day job, I would consider their activity a hobby also.... maybe we need a new term. ie.- &quot;Coin Dealer hobbiest&quot;,,,,, but I would still not consider them &quot;Coin Dealers&quot;,, more like Paddiwan&#039;s (in training ; )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
