1 word why?

I dunno. As far as I'm concerned, there are four kinds of cars - red, blue, silver and colors I don't like.

Car dealers must love me. I suspect the same for this lovely set of state quarters. When I first saw the pictures, I immediately thought this would be a perfect display in one of those 24 hour rest stops that are littered along the Interstate highways.

I don't know why I thought that.

CamaroDMD, If I decide to grow corn in my back yard and it costs me $5 per ear to raise to maturity and I decide to sell it, my only way of making a profit is to sell it for more than $5 an ear. Unfortunately, people won't pay $5 an ear when they can buy it at the store 3 ears for a buck, but that's the price I need to generate a profit. So, as you see, that theory doesn't work in practice.

In order to stay in business one must turn a profit, but if nobody buys your product, then you'll never even have cash flow, let alone turn a profit.

 

That's not the worst thing I've ever seen, but $185.00 to start????? That's just begging to be $29.99 in 5 years...

I understand how business works. I was just giving a reason for why these sets might be priced that high. Clearly, people are buying them...so apparently my theory works in this case.

 

zero bids does not support your case

 

These things have sold for quite a bit of money in the past. Look, I was just giving an example of a reason why it might be so expensive. There is nothing wrong with my argument. People pay crazy prices for things all the time.

 

And HSN's profits prove your argument! LOL

 

sorry. I guess I seem a bit argumentative tonight and I don't mean to. There's a sucker born every minute and I think that any value these have above face will eventually evaporate and the owners who paid a premium for them will be sorry.

But you do have a point as far as the aesthetic value... there's something that I guess is in the eye of the beholder and could possibly even sustain long term value. I don't get it, but others are entitled to feel differently.

 

I think collecting stuff like this is a hobby...just like anything else can be. I have other hobbies that I'm sure many coin collector's would think is a waste of time and money...but I don't care. I like them all the same. Now, would I want these quarters...no, it's not my thing.

 

I wouldn't save those for face they're ugly maybe if I picked em' up at face I would ebay them jsut about..either way for $185.00 buy a MS CC morgan lol..that will actually appreciate

 

Gee, I wonder what Ben wrote......:whistle:
