<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 25500591, member: 91609&quot;]My psychology &amp; behavior changes at a coin show.&nbsp; If I am buying &quot;on line&quot;, I am much <b><i>less</i></b> susceptible to pricing urgencies/considerations &amp; more tentative about &quot;coin conditions/grades&quot;, since I can&#039;t see it &quot;in hand&quot;.&nbsp; So I am not likely to &quot;over pay&quot; &amp; may actually pass on a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>But at a show (much more so than at a coin shop), where I can see everything in hand, have cash to spend &amp; expect to spend it, <b><i><u>and</u></i></b> throwing in the entertainment value of just being there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, I am <b><i>more</i></b> susceptible to making &quot;that&quot; purchase &amp; perhaps paying more.&nbsp; (I never underestimate my &quot;enjoyment&quot; factor).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the same when I go to a train show...I&#039;m just as likely to buy that $800 steam engine as I am to scarf up the &quot;3 cabooses for $25&quot; or &quot;6 box cars for $40, your choice&quot; (you have to be there early to get the best selection! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you&#039;re going with a specific target in mind, do your homework &amp; use your better discretion.&nbsp; Otherwise, throw caution to the wind &amp; enjoy...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
