<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe2007, post: 316185, member: 1262&quot;]Personally I aspire to continue learning and becoming a better collector both in coins [my primary hobby] but also in antiques and collectables so I can spot/capitalize on deals and rare opportunities when they appear without self doubts lingering in my mind. I hope to continue to learn about and research new categories of items and how to properly value them so that when I&#039;m at an estate auction, flea market, antique mall, or thrift store I can make wise choices, avoiding bad purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to become a more professional collector and to learn more about the business side of collecting. In 10 to 15 years time I hope to have learned enough about sourcing and selling to be at least part-time antique dealer turning a reasonable enough profit not to be considered a hobbyist. The whole managing of an inventory, factoring in the overhead costs, the logistics of finding the right customer, and the required bookkeeping seem like daunting obstacles that will take a lot of skill and planning to overcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
