[QUOTE="Stujoe, post: 9595, member: 11"]I love food but I don't want to own a grocery store. I love darts and old cars but I don't want to own a dart store or a used car dealership. I love beer but I have never wanted to own a liquor store. I love fishing but have never dreamed of owning a bair shop. :D Similarly, I love coins but I have no desire to be a professional dealer.

Not knocking dealers at all but I just think it is odd that so many collectors want to know how to become a dealer in this hobby. So what is the appeal for you collectors that desire to be professional dealers?[/QUOTE]
