[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1661943, member: 112"]coins - You cannot expect, ever, to buy coins at retail prices and then sell them to a dealer, and not lose money. You are going to lose money every single time. The only question is how much you will lose. How much you lose is determined by several other variables. Among those are you paying too much to begin with, buying problem coins at problem free prices (kind of the same thing but different really), buying coins while prices are up and then selling after prices have dropped (and prices have been dropping pretty steadily since 2008 which is when you began buying), selling to a dealer that has no need of the particular coins you have for sale, the list goes on and on. Buying coins and then selling them is not easy. You really, really, have to know what you are doing to succeed at that. And most people don't. So most people fail (lose money) when they try it. And you also have to be pretty lucky, not matter how good you are or how much you know. As suggested already, you need to stop what you have been doing. Or else just plan on keeping on losing money.[/QUOTE]
