<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1452180, member: 24544&quot;]Just a couple thoughts.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, don&#039;t think of coins as an investment as you are unlikely to get a good return.&nbsp; Coins, especially low grade coins, are extremely hard to make money on as the buy sell spread plus transaction costs are large.&nbsp;&nbsp; Take the coin you just bought, it cost you $5 to get it to your door.&nbsp; Assuming you sell it for $3.25, you will be out $2 for the shipping plus 12% for ebay/paypal fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which brings up the second point.&nbsp; As a general rule don&#039;t be obsessed with getting a deal as most of the coins you get a &#039;deal&#039; on are priced below book value due to problems.&nbsp; Buy the nicest coin you can afford, and keep in mind that problem coins bring lower prices and are hard to sell while choice coins bring a premium and are easier to sell.&nbsp; It&#039;s those choice coins which deal searches never purchase as they are generally priced above the guide, but they are easier to sell in the future and often return the premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, it&#039; tends to be cheaper in the long run to buy a coin you like and keep it, rather then buy problem coins and upgrade repeatedly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
