"Hello Middletown, I am the owner of Middletown Coin Connection and proud to be. I am 21 years old and have collected coins from the tender age of 5. I have always had a passion for collecting coins and paper money and will continue until the day I die. I gave up many things to open my business including three years of schooling at Miami towards a business degree and my position as assistant manager at Kay Jewelers in the mall. I realized through working at Kay jewelers that there was a strong demand for an exchange center for coins, paper money, and scrap gold. I learned this from my customers that called and walked in the store curious of a place other than a pawn shop to sell their coins and gold. After about two weeks or so of trying to convince myself that opening a shop would be a good day, I put my two week notice in and pursued my dream. I looked around the Middletown area and came up with a few locations. One place I chose was the Middletown mall. Once I spoke with mall management I realized the potential of great business at a low price. I know most people I told about my idea said the mall is a bad idea but they couldn't be any farther from wrong, the mall has been a very lucritive spot for my passion. Including cheap rent and two jeweler stores right next to me I couldnt have chose a better place. So far business has been anywhere from fair to excellent. The way I look at myself and my business is this: I provide a service that not many provide in this area besides local pawn shop which is what I am not by any means. Second of all when people sell their possesions to me they turn around walk right back into the mall and spend some of their money. I like to refer to it as a recycling process that a small scale effort on helping revive the mall. I can't see how any one could possibly give a thumbs down and shoot down my passion. To recap I'm a "just turned" 21 year old who has given up so much to chase my dream of owning a coin shop and also trying to help jump start a local economy by providing top dollar for all amcerican coins, paper money, and precious metals. So before anybody makes any assumptions I encourage you to come in my store and have a look around or just a conversation with me before you do make an uneducated remark towards my store and my self. Thanks so much Josh and Adam! Sincerely Brendan Carnes (Middletown Coin Connection)" - 10/25/2008 10:56:08 AM
