How Do You Buy/Sell/Interact With The Coin Community

I would say that my age class (early twenties) and lower may like to use the online since we were basically raised on computers and just looking at prices they are generally cheaper online. I may be wrong but just a thought.

There is a certain convenience to the internet...

I would imagine the trend is towards internet with youth (older people perhaps preferring the old ways) and a slant towards face to face with females (given that women are generally more sociable creatures than men - a generalization perhaps but a well documented one)

Of course for some the later option (physical interaction) is just not an option... and due to the infrequency of such dealings I almost feel embarrassed by them. I am not unsociable, and I have had many dealings on the other side of the counter (as a jeweller) but the collecting of coins and banknotes almost feels like a dirty secret to me. I would say that on the rare occasion there is a fair or show near me (and I have only been to 1 banknote and 1 coin fair in the last ten years) I have found everyone to be perfectly reasonable and a couple of people very helpful and knowledgeable indeed... interaction between people rather than with stores/ebay is always far more enlightening and memorable than simply purchasing without any interaction.

Some of my friends refer to me as the "Rogue" collector.

Yes well put. Contrary to popular belief, the advancement of technology did not occur overnight. It arrived in bits of pieces over decades - as will continue - and it's an unfair perception some people have that older people are uncomfortable with online activity - albeit we probably do not rush out to buy the latest version of iPhones.

Those who choose to have nothing to do with computers are not able to read what's written on this forum.

99% online.

I would LOVE to go to brick and mortar shops but the only one that is close by is closed on my normal days off. plus the inventory of my interests (tokens) is non-existent.
There is another one close by but after being treated poorly on several visits I refuse to buy from them, even online.

Next closest shop is an hour+ away.

Coin shows disappearing in the area as well (Vancouver area)

Primarily online here and I'm approaching old-timer status myself.

I too started of on time share computer in the 79-80's(midi computer). My first personal computer was a 8086 IBM compatible with a 9 pin printer and ran on dos(very slow). The Internet was not ready for another 10 to 15 years at its early stages.
Started buying coins at local coin shops in the early 80's and came Tele trade in the late 80's and early 90's for coins. I started to play on the Net because of online poker (Poker star and Paradise poker) in 2002. Did not buy coins on the Net until 2005 or 06 ( HA.com and ebay).
I shop mainly HA.com for coins and ebay for books, supplies, Bullions and other quick deals. Coin shop once or twice a month, just to see anything interesting is in the shops. Have only been to two coin show and have not bought a thing. I have made few trades and buys on the different forums with some good results.
