<p>[QUOTE="Simms, post: 872734, member: 24789"]The feeling of the market I get is that, its getting smaller. Everyday that I go to the coin shop, people are just there to sell coins, gold and silver. Only a very few are actually buying with the way the economy is. Also, from my many visits to the shop and others like it, I seem to be the greenhorn. Everyone else in this hobby is way older than me. I would like to think I have a wide range of friends from work and back when in school and no one I know collects. A few come into collections and they come to me asking for advice. For instance a coworker of mine overhears me talking to a friend about the 37 3 legged buffalo. It caught her attention and came over to see if she should bring "some" in and if I could tell her if they were worth anything! She then told me she once tried to take all her coins to a store and they only offered her two thousand dollars for the lot. This gets me thinking that she may have some serious stuff! I tell her my next day at work is Tuesday, so shes going to bring in some coins and ask their values.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that so much trust has been put upon me to help her out, leaves me feeling funny inside. On one side I could totally rip her off and she would never know,... But I would. I am proud that I couldn't do that no matter how much I could gain monetarily. My honor and reputation at my job make me a "protected" man. So, with all that said, who knows what she all has. But if I can't afford it myself, and she wants to sell, I will tell her I know the right people to sell to and post the lot on here for fellow CT members to get a chance at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
