[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 305625, member: 8012"]I remember visiting my coin dealer just before Christmas last year. A college student comes in with some kind of cards - they weren't sports cards or pokemon, but anyways, my coin dealer had a conversation with him. This coin dealer also does comic books and trading cards. Basically it seemed the student needed money and figured he could blow in and sell his cards to get some money. Well, turns out, no one is buying those cards anymore and while the dealer recognized and appreciated the cards, he would not even give an offer to buy because he figured he couldn't sell them. Not exactly the same kind of story as ShortGap, but a LOT of people buy things thinking "they're going to be worth something someday". This is almost more sad because in these cases, we can't even target someone to blame as being "low-life".[/QUOTE]
