<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3943691, member: 15588&quot;]I completely agree that this appears to be the current reality, but this is one reason that my interest in this hobby has waned drastically. We&#039;re supposed to &quot;understand&quot; that dealers need to make a living and accept that we have to buy high and sell low for the hobby to continue. If we applied this kind of thinking to other kinds of buying, we&#039;d all have gone broke (though we probably fall into this situation often without realizing it).</p><p><br /></p><p>The hobby has presented the buyer/collector nothing more than a lose-lose proposition, but we&#039;re just supposed to accept it. I&#039;m getting tired of accepting the fact that I need to put up with getting ripped off to continue pursuing this hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m very close to pulling the plug. I&#039;ve already reduced my purchases by more than half from last year and I can no longer imagine spending more than $100 on a single coin anymore. I utterly hate buying a coin that I enjoy only to find out that I overpaid for it and to get rid of it I have to &quot;accept&quot; a loss. Though the losses are, of course, much less than many other hobbies, they are still losses. Then to be told that I should understand the situation really doesn&#039;t help. It makes me wonder why I ever started in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
