You can take a loss on some and a profit on others and still come out ahead. It's not a zero sum game. Same thing here. It's real easy to come out with a net loss at any given show. You're jumping to conclusions and assuming I'm saying it happens one way or the other all the time, at every show. But it doesn't, it's a mix and match, sometimes it goes good sometimes it goes bad. But it's not impossible for either one or both to happen among a group of dealers at any given show. Some will make money and some will lose money. My point is - dealers don't ALWAYS make money ! If they did they's all be millionaires. The fact that they aren't all millionaires - proves that what I'm saying is true. I think the thing you're having a hard time wrapping your head around and accepting is that most coin transactions take place between dealers. But it's true. And when you stop and think about everything you quickly realize that it has to be. There's only so many coins out there, the exact same coins are bought and sold hundreds and hundreds of times. Do you really think somebody makes a profit on them every time ? If they did ...... - read the paragraph above again.[/QUOTE]
