<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dctjr80, post: 1284089, member: 15915&quot;]I agree completely with Doug&#039;s rebuttal, the argument than transcends into the Dealer/Collector philosophy. You can be a Dealer that collects some things, but if you are a Collector, rate over time you will lose, just as gamblers in a casino.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only argue each time Doug, because I hate how fast you Old Timers jump on any new person that shows a hint of entrepreneurial spirit and attempts to crush their dreams flat out that they can amass a valuable collection and even learn how to ride the supply/demand waves for short/long term profits. When I was new to collecting, it was these very ideas, thoughts, and dreams that fueled my obsession to collect something and that sustained long enough to begin to appreciate the art and history, and even to accept the lumps of losses in the beginning when purchases were foolish and with out enough knowledge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
