<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 11566427, member: 31533&quot;]I think one of the issues might be simply not wanting to pay &#039;retail&#039;. Not saying you should not be price-conscious but if you are not aware of what differentiates retail from non-retail (I would guess you might say wholesale or some other term or way of saying you got a deal) or even have sources for your coin that might give you a price break (and eBay is not always that.... many times their price breaks, if you get them when you &#039;win&#039; the auction simply are more reflective that the coins really weren&#039;t worth more) then of course you won&#039;t have a lot of opportunities to avoid paying retail. This means that I am getting at not concentrating on trying to find a cheap buying opportunity but rather really putting some effort into looking at what makes a coin valuable for long term (which is how some hold and gain value) as opposed to those which lose value (i.e., many mint issues, for example) and simply choose more wisely which coins you might choose to purchase. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, probably most all collectors have had a long period of time where they have put more money into their coins than they can get out of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
