<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 327328, member: 4552&quot;]I well know your problem. Attempting to tell a relative, friend, neighbor that what they GIVE you is not what you want is something that has baffled everyone for a long, long time. That is exactly why there are so many returns after Christmas. Best to avoid herting anyone&#039;s feelings is to just accept them. Also, one good suggestion here was to buy coin collecting items instead of the coins. Most dealers have markups on those also but not so ever changing as coins. For example see how much he wants for Albums, 2x2&#039;s, magnifying glasses, etc. </p><p>One other suggestion is to pretend to abandon the hobby with those that insist on giving you those gifts. You could kind of drop hints for a while that you lost interest and may go back some day but for now your concentrating on buying a boat, a car, a plane, rocketship, etc. Regardless of what you tell them it is always best to not have numerous individuals aware of a hobby where you have expensive items laying around. Not that it will happen to you but todays inlaws are not always tomorrows inlaws.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
