Now that there are no shows, and for a while stores are off limit due to the quarantine... Can dealers without web presence survive?

    Maybe this will serve as a wake up call for some.

    a wake up call? perhaps but I have not met 'The Walking Dude' yet.

    All dealers can’t operate in the retail space, and retail dealers I think need the guys behind the scenes to bring great coins to market. My uninformed opinion is that the people with the connections to find fresh coins will be the best positioned, not necessarily the people with the best retail presence.

    Interesting @Boosibri but even if you get the coins to the collectors if you do not have an on line presence?

    Fresh coins need to find their way to the online dealers who need them from the people with the connections to acquire them. Sometimes they are one and the same person, sometimes not.

    My lcs guy was doing a weekly email sales flier long before the virus. He build an online store from that point forward. Don't know how sales have been though. Peace Roy
