    Have you ever had a coin in the watch list for so long that you actually lost interest in buying it?!

    Its probably the reason you put it on a watch list versus bought it outright. :)

    Absolutely! When I'm browsing I usually put 10-20 coins on my watch list, a month later there is maybe one of the same coins as before that I will actually buy, most of the others I've lost interest in (for the moment) because I'm working on a different part of my collection when I'm ready to buy... :)

    I have a number of coins on my vcoin watchlist. About half lost interest later. Still interested in the other half though... until they are bought by someone else.

    I cannot say that I have ever lost complete interest in any of the coins that I had made a decision that I wanted to own. Perhaps I would say that some coins have moved to the back burner whereas some have moved to the front. This process is dynamic. Recently I decided I really want a coin that has been simmering along very happily on one of the many back burners in my mind. However one of these coins can move back to the front should an opportunity present itself. This coin is one.

Hansen thraxjnrs2.jpg This type has been on the back burner for over 20 years. Any time I saw one that was available some other coin which I deemed to be more important was also available and so..... However finally I did get a chance and so I bought it. Now that particular itch has been scratched and I can more on.

    I have had a coin in the watch list for so long time that at the end has been bought from someone else
