There are dealers that are OK to buy from, but not OK to sell to. These are the dealers who have decent inventory, but their cash management history makes their check suspicious.

There are dealers that are OK to sell to, but not buy from. These are the full retail guys who pay decent prices for coins but you sure wouldn't want to pay the markup on the other side.

There are dealers that OK to both buy from and sell to. Dealers who work on low overhead and buy smart. Guys like Tom Bush and Brian Greer come to mind.

There are dealers that are not OK to either buy or sell from. These guys "make" their own coins and don't need you to source them. And on the sell side it's uber-retail pricing.

    I think it's OK to buy or sell with anyone, as long as you do it intelligently.

    On the other hand, there are certainly some people who are easier to do business with, and there are some that are safer.

    Ok.....so what does all this have to do with Donald Rumsfeld? That's why I opened this thread. image

    I thought he might be the next potential ANA president? If Chris Dodd can get into the movie business, why not Rummy into numismatics?

    I would hope not. He has already done enough damage elsewhere (for example, look up the Rumsfeld-Aspartame link).

    Yeah.....?
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Everytime I hear Rumsfeld I think of him saying on tv, " Those WMD's have to be somewhere, up North, over
    there, down there, we'll find em". Did they ever find em?

    I won't defend Rumsfeld in general, and I'm not looking for a political debate, but that Rumsfeld-Aspartame link you cited has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.
