<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1341538, member: 13650&quot;]If this is the case, maybe you have no business going to auctions at this point?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; One thing you need to learn is that the rich aren&#039;t &#039;rich&#039; because they like to blow money.&nbsp; &nbsp; Many low end millionaires live lesser lifestyles and have cheaper cars than your average middle class person.&nbsp; They likely will try to save money on things much harder than you.&nbsp; &nbsp; That&#039;s how many of them accumulated it in the first place.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; It&#039;s all about how you want to live your life.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying their way is right or wrong.&nbsp; They may live like paupers and let their decendents who didn&#039;t work for any of it, inherit it all and blow it.&nbsp; Some of these people waste their entire lives being greedy and obsessing over it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I lean more towards wanting to enjoy life than hoarding money for bragging rights.&nbsp; (I&#039;d rather have a $100 coin than $100 sitting in savings at 0.1% interest.)&nbsp;&nbsp; Not only because life is short, but because dollars you save today are going to have far less buying power in the future than they do now.&nbsp;&nbsp; As has been proven.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a losing game.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Not only that but there isn&#039;t much return on anything these days anyway.&nbsp; Nowadays, a high yield savings account is 0.9%.&nbsp; lol&nbsp;&nbsp; Anybody with a little life experience can see how much of a joke that is.&nbsp; &nbsp; You&#039;ll even lose money putting it in a CD now.&nbsp; I feel bad for retirees.&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&#039;t think theres too many 7 to 13% returns being promised like people were saying 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Anyway, to get back on track here..... there&#039;s rarely good deals at auctions.&nbsp; Too many people.&nbsp; Too much money.&nbsp; A lot more factors compared to an ebay auction.&nbsp; People had to drive there.&nbsp; Stand around for hours.&nbsp; Showmanship.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re begging to pay more for stuff going to them.&nbsp;&nbsp; As someone else said, you would probably make more buying some obscure item like old cameras than trying to beat 10 people holding redbooks, buying coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
