<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2392198, member: 36230"]Deja vu all over again... and again and again and again. This isn't your "first investment coin", or second, third, tenth, or fiftieth, so what's truly different about this one, and why is it going to end any differently than all the others, with being sold, usually at a loss, when your interests turn elsewhere or you need a little scratch? Go ahead, Timmy, think I'm being mean or unwelcoming of your triumphant return, but considering the past it's a very valid question.</p><p><br /></p><p>How many times have we gone over this same thing with you, and how many times have you pulled out redbook (or whatever) numbers in trying to show how smart you are while completely ignoring anything and everything you don't want to hear? How many times has it been explained by the good members here that red book prices are meaningless, which is something I even recall you repeating to others, yet here you are again trying to sell yourself (not us) on this grand "investment" based upon them. How many times has it been pointed out to you and others that one cannot simply look in a guide, compare numbers, and use as absolute evidence of future "profit" or "return"? Again, how many coins have you sold at a loss because you couldn't even get what you just paid back much less full red book? Everything you've had an interest in has been a great "investment", be it Bust, Seated, bullion, British, etc, etc, etc. You CLEARLY believe whatever you want to, but putting forth this nonsense simply to convince yourself is dangerous to those less experienced with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since we're again rehashing history, let me ask this: have you yet paid off all of your ridiculous debits? How about college or the grand move to Michigan, and how about a job, or is being, ahem, "CEO" of a small one-man yardsale to ebay operation have you set for life? "Investing" is certainly wise, but only for one who can actually afford to do so, and is one of the many reasons why so many of us have continually pressed you to first "<i>invest</i>" in <u><i>yourself</i></u>. I'd truly love to learn that things have changed for you, Tim, and that your life is finally on solid footing, but here we are again and as much as I do hate to say it, this strongly suggests that nothing has changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
