<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 2400117, member: 13650&quot;]Thanks to whoever bumped this 2014 thread.&nbsp; Was an interesting read this a.m.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Been seeing these charts for years and I&#039;m always amazed at people&#039;s need to see a snap shot to cover the entire coin market in order to dictate how they feel about it.&nbsp; Maybe there&#039;s some value to it?&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe if you own whatever specific items are included in the data.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It more-so comes down to individual situations, individual coins, and varying degrees of urgency to sell.&nbsp;&nbsp; If somebody has a large collection and urgently needs a large amount of money and wants to liquidate it all quickly, does the price received reflect the market in any way?&nbsp; &nbsp; How much value can we put on this transaction?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Other than somebody got desperate and dumped everything for likely too cheap of a price which the buyer will likely turn around and sell them for a profit, it doesn&#039;t tell us anything. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now lets say an educated buyer goes out today and buys 10 different popular coins.&nbsp; 5, 10, 20&nbsp; years from now, pick the duration of time, all 10 could have went in different directions while some stayed flat.&nbsp; &nbsp; Is this Earth shattering data?&nbsp;&nbsp; Does it affect whether someone should buy a coin today at all or not?&nbsp; &nbsp; To me it does not.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe it&#039;s possible for somebody to come on here and say everybody should expect 50 cents on the dollar for their collection when they have no idea what&#039;s in the collection, when it was purchased, for how much it was purchased, how they intend to sell. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The only truth is that there are coins that will be winners and losers and anybody trying to sell anything (not just coins) in a desperate situation is going to get SCREWED, every time.&nbsp; &nbsp; That doesn&#039;t set the market for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
