<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 4379227, member: 25270"]As the original poster of this thread it's interesting to read what I posted four years ago. Today I've almost stopped all buying on eBay. What I really enjoy is going to coin shops and digging through bins and that's about all I do now for coin collecting. I've switched to more of a type set collector for most countries and probably sold about 25% of my collection. Honestly I never miss anything that I sell. It can be hard to decide to break up a new part of the collection but once I do I never look back. Now usually when I get some new coins and put the away in their albums I find some old ones to take out and sell. </p><p><br /></p><p>Something else I started doing is I try to make my hobby support itself. I sell the coins I get from those junk bins on eBay that I don't need and use that money to buy new coins. I keep a separate bank account and Paypal for my coin hobby and make sure I pay for everything coin related from that. It makes it a lot easier to see how the finances of the hobby are working.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
