The World Wide Web has made the world a very small place. It used to take years or even longer, to find a rare coin you need for your collection or a buyer for one you currently own. Now you can get online to find what you need in a few days; if it is very rare and expensive it may take a bit longer, but still not as long as it used to take. Whether you are trying to deal on a number of coins, or just one, here are a few advantages of dealing with a wholesale coin dealer online.
Large Inventory
Online coin dealers have a huge customer base, they deal with people all over the world, therefore they try to keep a large inventory. If you are selling coins, they are more likely to buy everything you want to sell than a small, local dealer. The local dealer will be looking for coins he or she knows will sell quickly, or the occasional rare one someone has been asking about.
Easier Price Comparison
When working online, it only takes a few minutes to have the inventory and pricing of multiple dealers in front of you. There is no need to drive around to the stores, or make multiple phone calls to find the information you need. Of course, to get the absolute best price, you may want to contact local stores too.
Better Prices
Because wholesale online coin dealers often buy whole collections, they often pay a lower price than the local dealer who buys coins a few at a time. This means these savings can be passed on to you when buying. Of course, you may be concerned about selling at a lower rate, but when you consider you can sell the whole collection, even coins a local dealer is not interested in, you can end up with more money going this route.
More Reviews
If you are wondering about the reputation of an online coin dealer, you will have more reviews of him or her than if you were going to a local shop. People who buy and sell online are very good at venting if they have been taken advantage of. A quick Internet search will give you ample information on the dealer and his or her practices.
Of course, before doing business with anyone, you should check the Better Business Bureau and talk with people who have had previous transactions with the company. It is also highly recommended you contact your local numismatic association, and the one closest to the online coin dealer to take advantage of all the benefits this type of transaction can offer.
