[QUOTE="Volante, post: 1799716, member: 57279"]I know what it feels like. I had to take a 4-year hiatus from coin collecting during my college years, as food unfortunately takes priority over coins. As for suggestions, I would recommend setting a max price that you're willing to pay before bidding on a coin. That way you won't get caught up in a bidding war.
