<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 637544, member: 17555"]1 - Doug,, bravo ! The comment re.-admin title, etc.. is laughable. Generally I read and try to keep my mouth shut, but felt that liberals were overrunning the site and felt the need to cowboy up next to you and poke them in thier eye... heck boys, ya'll want me to get ya some tissue ? 1 ply or 2 ?.... I'm you want it scented too. If anyone is so thin skinned, newbee or not, that a title under a name in a benign forum intimidates them... OMG sleeping beauty !,,,, enough said on this topic.</p><p> </p><p>2 - Penny Lady is correct, a coin is worth what someone will pay for it... and suckers abound, ask PT Barnum or the numerous power sellers on ebay.</p><p> </p><p>3 - Doug is more reasonably correct from an analytical point of view. If sucker is defined as someone who overpays signficantly for a coin with repect to what the general median value for a such a coin within the same grade and roughly same eye appeal, etc... (I've done it too).... then anyone who pays such a premium is not paying what the coin can reasonably be expected to be worth, and is essentially making a fiscially poor purchase,,, although it may still make them (and the seller), happy.</p><p> </p><p>Same thing happened in housing folks,,,, the market could only stand so many $300,000 homes and $500,000 condo's on the beach... did some folks buy them at that price, and where they happy with it, and were the homes and condo's worth it,,,, yes. Yes they were. </p><p>However, those same homes and condos are now readily available at 50-70% discounts,, I know,,, I've been watching ; )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
