<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 349961, member: 1262&quot;]I agree that more people than ever are listing their own finds for sale online but I&#039;m not sure they are doing it very effectively. I think there is still a place for higher end boutique dealers who stock quality/hard to come buy items and whose knowledge and expertise adds something to the transaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>My primary collecting passion is in U.S. coinage &amp; currency and there are a lot of specialist dealers in that collecting niche that purchase items from other dealers for wholesale and then mark them up higher for their retail clientele. In coin collecting a low level dealer may purchase an inherited collection from the heirs and then it piece it out to other dealers, slowing trading the choice pieces up the food chain to the specialist dealer, with each dealer along the way getting a piece of the profit. Probably not good for the end buyer or the original seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
