<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 4884, member: 655&quot;]Thanks for taking the time to lay out some things that will help collectors understand a little of how a dealer operates.&nbsp; Dealers have to contend with the view of some collectors that buying to resell at a profit is a shady occupation.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If there was no profit in dealing in coins, nobody would do it.&nbsp; If there was a huge markup on every coin and it took no more effort to assemble an inventory than that required in ordinary retailing, everyone would do it.&nbsp; Without collectors, the market in coins would be limited to bullion trading, and without dealers the hobby of collecting would be inaccessible to most due to the time required to acquire specimens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You definitely don&#039;t come across as one who thinks he knows it all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
