That is why there are futures in the stock markets to invest in. if we all knew the future, we would not invest, we would simply buy and sell on those days and not tie our money up for any length of time. How do we all know that a hoard of items was not kept in an investors safe or closet and did not reach the market and flood it??? Personally i dont care for the future with coins, notes, stamps gold , silver etc etc etc as i believe in making ones profit and getting out. A small profit is way better than a huge loss. Take the 1911s and 1912s USA wheat pennies in any grade as that is what i invested in when living in Australia and the money i made from them bought me a new car in the early 1970&#039;s when just out of school....I was buying EF grade under $15.00 per coin. That is when i learnt to sell when one can. Just remember , that the small % of profit you have earnt in a short time is better than a loss you will incur in years to come as the hobby is dieing off with the lack on intrest from our younger societies of today ( or our kids ) ...How many young families have bone china to eat off, sterling silver cutlery, irish bed linen and so on and so on...I would say the % would be less than 2%... That type of thing was about in our grandparents eras and it has either been sold on storage wars or the like or simply melted down for scrap... I know as i am guilty of doing just that... I was at a garage sale and saw a .925 sterling silver tea set...The person wanted 20.00 each for the serving Tray, Milk Jug and $10 for a set of teaspoons. $35.00 each for the teapot and coffee pot. that totaled $120.00 and i offered 2 $50 notes and she said add another $10 and you have a deal...So i did. I picked them up and estimated the weight in my mind there may have been close to 2 kilos of silver and i could not pay her fast enough...I then went to a dealer and sold it all for scrap silver.... I told him i wanted 85% of spot silver so he could make a good earn as well...He paid me and off i went. Just think about this...our kids will be worse as they wont know what they have if they come across similar... i received over $1400.00 for the lot and that was at a discounted price....I assume the dealer tried to sell it for its usable value before scrapping it. he would have turned it over for close to $2000.00 but i did not care....i made my profit. I have done this before in Australia ( where i originally come from ) but i damaged the goods first before letting them go to the next person at scrap price. I have 2 kids of my own that say they want nothing to do with that crap so why on earth should i keep it??? Sell it and enjoy the money is what i say... There will be people in here of my vintage ( in their 60&#039;s ) that will disagree as they had similar stuff from their grandparents but think about it...How long have you had the items and when was it last used??? You cannot buy gas , groceries, clothes etc with a silver dinner set laying in a cupboard. What i bought with assistance of the money from that silver set was a cartoon cell of bugs bunny in a robe with the original drawing by chuck jones in an auction....The number is 1/1 which means only one for the world. I have added pictures so some of you dont think i am having you on. As i have said many times over, something is only worth what a person is willing to pay for it.... I did not buy the cell for investment but simply to enjoy.... I will sell it eventually... have a nice day&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Look up the word &quot;<b><span style="color: #ff0000">CARETAKER</span></b>.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>PS&nbsp; Thanks for the Post.&nbsp; Hope you start a new discussion.&nbsp; You can call it &quot;<i>Great Finds I Have Made.&quot;</i>&nbsp; Reading this stuff is better than watching the &quot;Pickers&quot; TV show. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
