[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2419702, member: 15929"]<ade me laugh! Heh heh heh! Collecting Coins is ALL about throwing money away because unless you can out and out rip someone off, everything is simply money tossed out to satisfy some need for thinking you're getting a great deal. Rarely do I ever make money on coins and I have made some sizeable sales. BUT, that is the exception as the general rule is that whatever I bought it for, I'll not be able to sell it for that for a couple of reasons. The 1st reason is that, I;m a nothing, A nobody in the numismatic arena. As such, what I say about a coin simply falls on dead ears with the net result being an overall loss. Secondly, I don;t have a good venue for selling. No store front, no magazine ads, no newspaper ads. Nothing except that famous flippers paradise called eBay. Even then, the competition is fairly stiff. So, I no longer entertain the thoughts of actually turning a profit. Instead, I face the reality that my coin purchases fall somewhere between the RC Planes and the Model Trains of which, both were very expensive past times.[/QUOTE]
