<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1784441, member: 36230&quot;]My sincerest apologies... I must have imagined the thread where you spoke of trying to buy large cents off of ebay to sell to dealers. Actually, here is the thread so everyone else can imagine this too: (post # 36)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-have-lost-money-on-every-coin-i-have-ever-purchased.224284/page-2" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-have-lost-money-on-every-coin-i-have-ever-purchased.224284/page-2">http://www.cointalk.com/threads/i-have-lost-money-on-every-coin-i-have-ever-purchased.224284/page-2</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Regardless… does it really matter where you bought the coins? The point is that your business plan was doomed from the start, and instead of simply accepting this as a mistake, you whine and complain while dismissing every bit of advice given to you. It is time for a reality check… if you’ve been unable to make a profit off of coins, it&#039;s not ebay’s or anyone else’s fault but your own, so place blame where blame is due, or in other words, take a long look in the mirror.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">This is just another in your near endless string of excuses. The example used was the very same coins you brilliantly stated that <font face="times new roman">you would not buy for 1/30th of their face value, so do tell me how my advice was directed towards only those with large amounts of start-up money? I simply tried to explain to you how such low dollar coins can have value and offer opportunity</font> beyond the obvious. </font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4">You don’t own a shop, so what? It is not a necessity, and as for an antique mall, if there is one in your general area, rent a cabinet. If you were that poor, you would not have (or at least claimed to have) thrown away 1000 coins, which alone likely could have paid for your cabinet rental. Again, simple suggestions, but god forbid you accept them as such. </font></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Double the latter and you would be getting closer. Oh, what I would give to be in my twenties again, so in a way I will take that as a compliment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With all due respect, sir, I believe that I am qualified to give advice in this area because I&#039;ve lived it. The two suggestions were not shot from the hip, but are both things that I’ve had past successes with.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of dismissing any and all advice that has been given you, and questioning the qualifications of the person giving it, perhaps you should listen and at least consider, but this, of course, would go against your “victim” MO. There is little worse than someone who incessantly whines about their inabilities and failures while giving every excuse imaginable as to why it is not their fault. Life is what you make of it, sir, so if one thing does not work, you pick yourself up and try something else.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I once felt that underneath the nonsense, you were probably a decent guy who just didn’t “get it”, but clearly I was wrong and have wasted my time; a mistake that I will not make again. Good luck to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
