<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 8196194, member: 118780&quot;]I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the first one this has happened to, but the following was my decision process recently for a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Me</b>: Ooh, that coin looks nice</p><p><b>Myself</b>: Hey, it&#039;s in our pri 2 list. Let&#039;s investigate further.</p><p><b>Me</b>: Pricing searches indicate that it&#039;s exactly where it should be (fair). It&#039;s much higher than typical for the type, but the grade is much higher. Similarly graded coins sold for the same.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: <i>But</i>, the coin is common. This is a bit of money. Should I really be allocating it for a pri 2 coin that I can buy anytime?</p><p><b>Me</b>: Yeah, but it&#039;s really cool.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: But look at these other coins you want to buy.</p><p><b>Me</b>: OK, I&#039;ll hold off a few days.</p><p><b>Me</b>: (few days later) Let&#039;s take a look at this again. Yup, everything checks out pricing-wise as before. Can we buy it now?</p><p><b>Myself</b>: I don&#039;t know. That&#039;s a good deal of money. I need a reason why we should purchase this one vs any other.</p><p><b>Me</b>: Hmmm...Let me think about that.</p><p><b>Me</b>: (the next day) OK, here&#039;s the reason. It&#039;s a really cool coin and you know it will photograph well. I want to buy it because it&#039;s really nice.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: Fair enough, but it&#039;s late now. We&#039;ll buy it in the morning.</p><p><b>Me</b>: (the next morning) OK, let&#039;s buy it.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: Sure. Just make sure it&#039;s still for sale.</p><p><b>Me</b>: (checking) It is</p><p><b>Myself</b>: We can buy it, but first look through the seller&#039;s other coins to make sure there&#039;s nothing else we want.</p><p><b>Me</b>: OK (checks)</p><p><b>Myself</b>: %(*&amp;#$#! The coin sold while we were looking!</p><p><b>Me</b>: I hate you.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: Hey, what are you doing?</p><p><b>Me</b>: I&#039;m buying this other coin that we&#039;ve been watching. I&#039;m not going to lose that one too.</p><p><b>Myself</b>: I don&#039;t know. The inscription is mostly off flan. I think we should wait for a better one. It&#039;s also only a pri 2.</p><p><b>Me</b>: Sorry. Order already placed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
