[QUOTE="clembo, post: 407921, member: 8033"]There has been a ton of good advice here from so many people and so many angles. I've been working in a shop since April. I am by no means a dealer. I'm a small time side seller. Basically fill want lists with what walks in the door. The boss turns it quick and we both make a minimal profit. Takes a bit of effort and time but nothing to make it too much like a job. Vest pocket dealers run their butts off. I know a few and yes they are thinner than me. ;) Tons of transactions DO take place between dealers. Some we sell to I have little respect for but a deal is a deal and it's a business. It's great knowing what YOU like as well but take into account that every customer is not you. We sell a LOT of mondern stuff. State quarters, Presidential dollars, every U.S. mint thing that has come out. Just so happens this stuff does nothing for me but it does for customers. Couple that with world coins and paper money etc and what you find is that you have to learn every day. Is it an easy business? No. Is it a fun business? Pretty often. Do I like what I do working at a coin shop. 99% of the time. clembo[/QUOTE]
