<p>[QUOTE=&quot;torontokuba, post: 1811279, member: 56793&quot;]I can pretty much gather my own info from catalogue, completed auction&nbsp; and sold auction values. No need to sell or mail anything, especially if you paid too much.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty sure learning about good photos, lighting, coin appearance and asking the right questions are enough to train yourself how to buy quality. No need for postal costs and risking a poor rating by selling what you consider to be poor quality.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Why is it a mistake, if it provides you with satisfaction in a time when you may not be able to afford that key date in XF or MS? People enjoy just filling an album, this is not a mistake. If you buy a low quality coin and view it as not satisfactory, it was the buying that resulted in the learning experience. Trying to sell it, getting less and focusing on the low price you got, makes you more about the money than the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Much like your other arguments, another strainer, holds no water. I guess maybe this is a memory loss issue? How would you know if it&#039;s a duplicate unless you buy it and compare to what you have? Can&#039;t determine or learn that you&#039;ve made a mistake unless you buy the duplicate. Selling just adds extra work and reminds you that your memory is not what it used to be.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You see, I have this uncanny ability to learn from my own and other peoples mistakes, without sticking someone else with the crap I ended up with, without paying postal costs and running to the post office, without risking a negative rating for trying to sell crap, but, that&#039;s just me. I prefer to learn by picking up on the mistakes of others, checking going prices and catalogue values prior to purchase and my memory still serves me well. I don&#039;t mind duplicates, lets me analyze 2 to 3 examples of the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next thing you&#039;re going to tell me, is that pulling out a nail will teach me how to hammer it in.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
