Ask all your burning questions.&nbsp; If I can’t answer any of them, we can ask on the forum and then <i>I’m</i> learning along with y’all. And then you could later buy the coins (or not) on your own timeline.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could take your time with this.&nbsp; VCoins is fixed price, so you’d not be dealing with the time deadline of auctions (where you wouldn’t know how much to bid anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>Window shop first.&nbsp; Put some items in your watchlist. Ask me about them.&nbsp; Take it slowly.&nbsp; Talk about it a while.&nbsp; Look at dozens or <i>hundreds</i> of coins before deciding on one.&nbsp; That’s how I’ve done a lot of my learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Russ, I’m actually impressed that you haven’t said yes to the challenge immediately, and that you’ve put some thought into your reply.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only say yes if you think the challenge would be <i>fun</i>.&nbsp; If on the other hand you think it would be too much like boring school homework, or that it just isn’t something you imagine you’d find enjoyable, simply walk away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed your involvement on this thread and think you have the necessary intellect and curiosity, or I wouldn’t have offered you that starter coin.&nbsp; It’s not something I’d do for just anybody.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
