How many dealers websites do you actively cover?

Aside from the auction houses, I'm down to 5 with websites, another 2-3 without websites. At one time I had 20 I'd actively review.

    I'm down to 3 and really only 1 that I do any business with anymore. I like to look but when buying, it all is just with one place.

    If I purchase a coin, buffalo nickel, from a dealer that I just LOVE, I always go back and check on any others they may have. So, to many to list is the answer.

    When in doubt, don't.

    By the way, Boosibri. One of the sites that I check on daily, I found because of you. You mentioned them in a post, I immediately went to the site, and there it was....the coin I had been searching for over a year! One email and it was mine. Thank you for the tip!




    Great! Which one?

    I try to view 20-30 per week, and hunt down new ones every week. At this point I'm hunting for purple squirrels that I can buy at reasonable prices, so I look everywhere...



    In fact, I bought a coin on Amazon.com (an 1869 BG-830 Cal Frac) about a month ago.



    I don't go to coin shows or visit dealers, so I do exclusively on-line shopping. I visit collectors.com daily as well...

    Seven fixed-price dealers plus a couple of auction houses. Lots of viewing for very little buying. As it should be, I guess.

    5 or 6 on a weekly basis and 2 or 3 about once a month.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Two or three. Otherwise the coins I like to buy are offered to me by my regular dealer.

    At my peak, there were the "Fab Five" for heavy grazing: CRO, DWN, Legend, Mark Feld, and Gold Rush Gallery, in addition to about two dozen others PLUS Heritage auctions.



    Fast forward to today, and then there were three...CRO, DWN, and Legend, and that is all.
  • TrazTraz Posts: 377 ✭✭✭✭
    Legend, legend auction and heritage. Although I do buy from others I don't visit regularly.
  • BaleyBaley Posts: 22,663 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'm down to zero.



    I've become so selective in my purchases, of such highly discriminating taste, that there are no coins, nor coin dealers, that meet my ultra-high standards for quality.
