<p>[QUOTE=&quot;QUAVIET, post: 306878, member: 1425&quot;]I sympathize with you spock. I work seven days a week and spend all of my overtime money on coins. It is a compulsion on my part and think my ego is trying to regain my lost youth when I first started collecting. There was a gap in my collecting of about 40 years and I started again in ernest when I got an email to buy a coin from the SS Central America. It is not good financial planning, inre to one recent poster, would you buy a mutual fund with a 30% load? I think what he meant is that when you auction a coin the auctioneer takes 15% of your sale price. When you buy a coin, the auctioneer adds 15% to the sale price. Pretty good deal for the auction houses. I don&#039;t see why the smart collectors don&#039;t get together and start a non-profit company where we could trade coins or sell them between ourselves and skip the auction houses and dealers. They would have to get a real job and we would not be ripped off.</p><p><br /></p><p>In response to your original question, read the AA 12 step program.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
