<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 6346619, member: 106826"]I respect your ambition, but the members here are really just trying to help (in multiple ways). As is typical with most forums, there are rules against advertising (including casual talk) about a site you have or other, competing sites. If you think about it, it's just common sense and decency. As for promotions...that sound like gimmicks...the older crew have probably stepped into something similar in our past lives...we survived the sins of youth and are just trying to look out for you. As for how you invest your time and effort, that's a personal choice especially when it comes to work and making some money. I was lucky as a kid: a morning and afternoon paper route allowed me to make money and create a flow of change to search for collectibles. A win-win scenario if you consider a few bucks a week to wake up early and peddle several miles in the rain, cold, snow for a couple dozen customers. But I stayed out of trouble.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a means to an end, CRH can produce some nice coins that you might achieve some return on. But like my paper routes, it'll be more work than reward (financial). But there are other rewards to CRH events...the occasional lucky strike or the hoard of coins from a collection dump. You never know. And to make it productive, you'll need to expand from just old and just silver. You need to understand what you are looking for and what's in front of you. Many high grade coins in the mix, but which ones to post for profit? The learning process you go through would be worth it, unless you have a real need for cash. If that is the case, a real job would be your best bet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
