Are You An Impulsive Coin Buyer?

<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 3301950, member: 15588"]Like others here already, I went through a period of extreme impulsivity and bought pretty much everything that even slightly interested me. This led more to hoarding than to collecting and I found myself not even knowing what I had in my pile. In the long run, this was just frustrating and unsatisfying. I knew I had reached a tipping point when I looked at a coin for sale and asked "do I already have one of those? I don't know!" Some people may find mere accumulation interesting, but I found out the hard way that I don't. Not to mention that I sold many of those impulsively bought coins at a loss (which is pretty typical for the average collector in this hobby). So I not only wasted time, I wasted money. It's important to set limits, otherwise the often irrational human need for base acquisition will run amok.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
