<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pocket Change, post: 408436, member: 8012&quot;]A couple remarks relating to these comments on dealers and proft, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I always get a kick out of the threads of people who can&#039;t &quot;survive&quot; on e-bay because of the high fees.&nbsp; Some of the complaints are justified - to be sure.&nbsp; And I don&#039;t want to start up a discussion on that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is that it COSTS MONEY to sell stuff.&nbsp; Even if E-bay and Paypal take 20% of your sales - compare that to a &quot;real&quot; business.&nbsp; I have no way of knowing if &quot;old Sarge&#039;s&quot; comments are correct, but he would probably be thrilled to have a 20% overhead!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>And then coin dealers have to deal in all aspects of the hobby - even if it doesn&#039;t interest them - they need to become &quot;experts&quot;.&nbsp; Is that a variety of the Kentucky quarter?&nbsp; &quot;Yes Maam, I&#039;ll get a pliers out and pull that gold filling for you&quot;, &quot;No I don&#039;t buy Chucky Cheese tokents&quot;, &quot;I&#039;m sure your grandfather thought drilling holes and putting strings through them would keep them better organized&quot;....</p><p><br /></p><p>So on and so forth.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and the comment about armed guards not touching the money.&nbsp; Apparently, it is the same way with the people who go around and empty out parking meters.&nbsp; They never see a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
