<p>[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2407614, member: 76111"]I mostly buy top quality coins for my interests and often have to compete against people who are much wealthier or heavily motivated buyers, likely both. But in the end, I'm also a competive jerk who has deep seated mommy issues and has trouble accepting losing, so I often significantly overpay to make up for my behavioral deficiencies and get my way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coins I've sold, I've lost money overall on but I hadn't had them long, usually prioritize buying the right coin (for me) rather than the right priced coin, and have made some mistakes. I've done some poor sales too, being expedient rather than worried about the best return, but I don't give a damn at this point. It's a process and I'm get better at it. It's also not been an unreasonable expense for such a wonderful hobby as opposed to golf where you have nothing to show it but skin cancer. And I still think someday 30 years from now I'll make money overall as well as a lifetime of enjoyment. I also look at my collection as an alternative store of value, even it imperfect.</p><p><br /></p><p>What a great hobby! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]496990[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
