<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 43301, member: 1235&quot;]I gotta say, Richard, if you enjoy what you&#039;re doing, and it suits you, that&#039;s great - but the pitfalls seem pretty large to me.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if what you&#039;re doing qualifies as investment technique or flat out gambling.&nbsp; A lot of people like to gamble, so I&#039;m not knocking it - I personally love gambling - but it seems to me you shoot from the hip on your buying trends (from your post about buying x to make y and reselling to get back x), and let experience teach you over time.&nbsp; Some of the best played gamblers claim to have a system, but it isn&#039;t a system of investment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s been my (albeit very limited) experience in this hobby that large bills do not equal better deals.&nbsp; Even that depends on what your definition of a better deal is, I guess.&nbsp; Some people think a better deal is a more magnificant coin - even if you paid market dollars for it.&nbsp; I think collectors would be far more apt to qualify a better deal in terms of a coin they are proud to own.&nbsp; Others will qualify a better deal as the difference between sale price and the market value.&nbsp; I think this would be an investor&#039;s outlook, although I know it&#039;s a far more common point of view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
