I have been a long time coin collector and have liquidated a number of coin collections from estates. I really enjoy the hobby and it would be a bonus if I could either improve my personal collection for free / low cost or make some extra money buying wholesale coins and reselling. Does anybody know where dealers purchase their coins from? Does anybody have experience with Collectors Internet or Coin Happy? I suspect you have to spend a certain amount to get close to dealer pricing. Thank you!

Craigslist maybe?
Thank you jmlanzaf, I appreciate the comments. Any suggestions for getting started or gaining more knowledge?
Years of research. Lots of interactions with collectors and dealers. No quick way or everyone would be doing it. Welcome

You need to do a lot more homework before even attempting to get into coin dealing. Frankly, you are very late to the game and are probably best advised to look elsewhere for ways to make money.
Knowledge will get you great deals.
Bad deals will give you knowledge.
Go for it.
Thank you for all the responses, this has been very helpful. I do work full time but am looking to expand one of my favorite hobbies into some part time income. I enjoy going to coin shops / shows, looking around, trading and having discussions. I appreciate this forum.
Welcome To The Forum.
Good advice above. I would first of all, stay here on the forum and learn. Gobble up the tons of information and education you'll need to become that good coin dealer. When I say, "good". I mean honest, knowledgeable, profitable, popular, very resourceful and a fun to visit shop. Good Luck in all your endeavors.

I think that your answer is in your original post.
"I have been a long time coin collector and have liquidated a number of coin collections from estates. I really enjoy the hobby ..."
You are not a beginner and everyone is answering you as if you are totally new to this. Maybe estate collections would be a good source since they have been a source for coins in the past. They may not always be available for purchase but seeking these out are great sources for fresh new material for dealers. You've sold by liquidating to dealers, so you have experience buying and selling already. Maybe you should think about how to increase the activity with the methods that you have already used.
Does anybody…. Anybody?? Experience?
You have experience… you say it’s from 2007
