[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 1596039, member: 13307"]Does anyone remember an old PC game called Drug Wars? (FWIW, you can currently get an app of the game, but it's not as simple as it used to be...) Basically, you start out trying to make money buying cheap stuff and moving around the city from place to place buying/selling/running from the cops. Prices of stuff fluctuates, so you might make money or you might lose some...but the goal is to work your way up from the cheap stuff with minimal profit margins to the heavy stuff (crack, cocaine, heroin) and make $1,000,000 by the end of 30 days (or more.) The reason I bring this up is that's what I feel like coin collecting has become...you piddle around in roll-searching, flea markets, digging through bags of wheat cents, trying to find stuff to upgrade your collection. You might get a job or a bonus that increases your income, and you can move up to more expensive stuff...then you start getting into the really nice coins, and your tastes (and profit margins) change, hopefully for the better. Of course, since I'm still in school...still piddling around with rolls, flea markets, and the like...trying to turn $100 into $200... So, anyone else feel like their coin collecting is eerily similar to this old PC game?[/QUOTE]
