Default Appreciate the insight

(thanks Rich for the friendly bump on the post too). It seems like a challenging, somewhat frustrating and marginally profitable business to most.

John,

Just like most of the jobs we work in day after day after day.........

I had my own card store for 11 years in the 1990s. Would not have traded that experience for anything.

I'm close to starting back up and quitting my full time employment but will change with the times and be internet focused: eBay, comc, amazon, net54, blowout boards, card shows, etc......

There are still a lot of nice collections out there to be had but tying yourself to 1 location nowadays seems tough. Very tough as in trying to get out and buy collections if you are tied to that 1 spot all day every day!

Can't wait to "pull the trigger" so to speak on crossing back into that world full time!

If you know what you are doing, passionate about it, good at customer service, then you should be fine. I know I will.

Peace, Mike
