[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1401306, member: 112"]I don't see anything wrong with paying too much, even way too much, for a given coin just because we love that coin. Everybody does it, or has done it, and many more than once. But therein lies the problem. You see it's one thing to step over the edge and over-pay for a particular coin. But once you step over that edge it's downhill the rest of the way - and it's slippery. Meaning it becomes suddenly very easy to do it again, and again, and again - and then again ! This is the true danger of over-paying for coins just because you "love" them. Because first thing you know you've got an entire collection of coins for which you over-payed. Now maybe that wouldn't bother you. Maybe you can justify it to yourself by saying it's my money and I love the coins, and if I want to spend it then I'll spend it. But if you find yourself saying that then you need to remember how many other coins you could have bought with that wasted money. And also remind yourself that you'll never see all that money again. Food for thought.[/QUOTE]
