<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1800402, member: 26302&quot;]Non_Cents, I truly do appreciate your question. I find myself wandering all over the collecting landscape, buying totally unrelated items at times. It seems I buy out of boredom, cruising around Ebay for a coin or a deal I find attractive. </p><p><br /></p><p>What has helped me is two things. One, make searches detailing specific coins you are looking for, and only use them. I no longer just peruse around coins generically on Ebay, I have specific searches I look at. I am sure this saves tons of random purchases. Second, if your budget is running tight, simply stop looking. I know its fun to look at coin auctions, but if I truly am running short of cash, I STOP. Do not look at auctions at all. Only go to websites that are informational with no coins for sale at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know if you don&#039;t search Ebay you can worry about some great coin you are missing out on. Please trust me on one thing I have learned over 35 years collecting, &quot;There is always another coin to buy&quot;. No matter how great a coin is, there is almost always another great one a few weeks later that will get your attention. This is a hobby, you should never feel rushed into making a purchase. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
