[QUOTE="chip, post: 947218, member: 19122"]You know, I reread the original post again, and it seems to me that the issue is not merely the coin market, or free capitalism. I feel that it is probably the fact that his sweetheart has a medical condition (bills) his taxes have gone up (bills) and he has to purchase oil for the winter (another bill), for people on fixed incomes rises in those sort of costs can hit hard, and then if the op has looked at prices that things are being sold for, it stands to reason that perhaps those who charge the highest might also buy at higher prices. He probably knows all that free marketeer stuff, and probably can recite the free market catechism along with the rest of the choir, but that don't feed the bulldog, I would guess that he is probably a seasoned citizen and just feels a tad overwhelmed with circumstances. So my advice, would be to forget selling the coins, but get a part time job, so many of todays kids cannot make change, cannot get to work on time and cannot be bothered to do more than the bare minimum, so a part time job might be just what the op needs to get over this little hump. I may be wrong in my take on this, but it seems to me that the issue we are discussing is only a small part of the whole picture.[/QUOTE]
