Why not let him enjoy his toy for a while and even enjoy the real possibility that someone will pay the price. When he wants to sell it for a reasonable price, there will be buyers. Those in the hobby or the business for the money do things differently than those whose hobby is being a seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a retired friend who sells things from his hobby as a hobby and lived in a nice house with a great view which he thought was worth a million. A retired friend of his pestered him to sell it so he decided to shut him up by saying 'three million'. My friend had to move. Now he has a lot more money but no view. I don't put prices on my coins I love. I enjoy the view. When I no longer do will be soon enough. Will the man who paid $3 million for the house be able to sell it for a profit? He'll never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
