Bored Buying.

Hey guys,

Do any of you get bored and just wanna impulse buy?

Happens to me a lot still and I definitely think it's a void brought about for some reason..

Was just wondering if it happens to any of you too.

Anything worth checking out on ebay?

Interesting question...yes, when I collected coins.
after 20 something years I got bored..sold em all and got into Paper Money 3 years ago...have not had a boring day since..my word there is so much to see, learn, discover...the list can go on an on.
Everyday I am on the hunt and targets are not too easy to find sometimes...

Not in a while. I've balanced my collecting interests among rarity, price, and beauty almost perfectly for my budget. When I get bored from a lack of tesserae, there's always a few imitations for me to play with!

 

So much for retirement...

I'm sometimes do get the urge, to buy coins, but I restrain myself from buying something, so I can save up, to buy more expensive, better quality coins, that fit my type set

 

I usually get the itch to buy when I don't have any cash. LOL

 

Some of my favorite coins have been impulse buys!
Also some disasters too, gotta take the good with the bad i guess

 

I do that every so often, and when I do, its on low level world coin of some sort, nothing to high $.

 

I never get bored.

 

For those saying "So much for the retirement" do note, I don't officially retire from high end coins until after my birthday (Dec. 3rd) and secondly, low end coins don't count!

 

Not me.
My wantlist definitely exceeds my pool of money.
It would not be good for me to impulse buy.
The closest I come to that is getting something better than I planned on.
Like that 2-cent I just bought.
I had planned for a MS-63 or -64 but ended up with a -65.
The right coin but a higher grade.

 

So you will impulse buy low end coins only?

 

Maybe.

 

That is what I do!

 

Is it boredom or impatience? Lots of frogs out there.

 

Yes.

I also think that learning to resist that urge is a very important yet difficult lesson to learn.

 

Do I get the urge to impulse buy - yes. It is worse at the local coin shop, cause they always seem to have something I want. The good thing is - the last few trips everything they have that I want I can't afford. I am always searching and looking. Now we have to define low-end coins. To me that varies depending on the type of coin.

 

Learning it the hard way is even worse...

 

I'm not sure the difference between impulse buying and just plain buying. Can you impulse buy the coins that you want to complete your collection? When I'm bored, I usually don't buy anything. I'm usually buying when I'm excited about whatever it is that I want to buy.

 

Last time I impulse bought something, I came home with this:
