<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 24830248, member: 91609&quot;]Yes, we have all overpaid at some point, but we have also underpaid.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point with your start is that you first overpaid significantly, on <b><i>several</i></b> notes, which, frankly, I don&#039;t believe any of us would purchase at the prices you paid.&nbsp; What you did was shoot first &amp; ask questions later.&nbsp; You&#039;re pushing the cart with your horse, when you should be pulling it!&nbsp; (insert additional cliche&#039;s here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Very few of us started out buying something we don&#039;t know anything about, and then wondering if we paid the right amount, &amp; certainly not several times in a row. So what I am suggesting to you is to keep investigating informational sources like CT &amp; others to build your knowledge &amp; then buy wisely.&nbsp; (Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.)</p><p><br /></p><p>By doing this, you will be much more satisfied with the specimens in your collection, &amp; you won&#039;t be worrying about what others might have paid. I have several hundred coin &amp; note specimens in my collection, and on <b><i>not any</i></b> of them do I ever wonder what someone else may have paid.&nbsp; So, while I may have overpaid on some things, I do not buy something before I have an idea of its condition &amp; value (to me).&nbsp; On a dollar cost average basis, I&#039;ve done very well...&amp; you can too.&nbsp; Do not be impatient with your acquisitions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I hope you will openly accept the advice/comments of our esteemed &amp; knowledgeable members &amp; not take offense. We aim to help/inform.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
