<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 810692, member: 13650&quot;]Me too.&nbsp; There&#039;s always something to learn.&nbsp;&nbsp; Something else I might add is how important it is to make sure you&#039;re getting what you&#039;re paying for as the dollar values go up.&nbsp; Which is why the slabbed coins can be very helpful at first.&nbsp; But don&#039;t just read the labels.&nbsp; Still analyze the coins too.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;As to why it becomes more important is because of the broader range of price swing there will be.&nbsp;&nbsp; A $10 coin doesn&#039;t have a lot of room to swing on the downward side.&nbsp;&nbsp; The percentage may be large but in real dollars and cents, it isn&#039;t that much.&nbsp;&nbsp; Many people overpay and don&#039;t even care.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; But $2k coin has that much more room to swing in price.&nbsp; There are fewer buyers and those that can and want to, feel that they&#039;re in the driver&#039;s seat.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now you may be talking hundreds of dollars one way or the other.&nbsp; Which is why it&#039;s so important to get what you pay for to begin with <b>and then also</b> make sure it was a reasonable price you paid.&nbsp; They say the money is made or lost the moment you purchase something.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;ll share a secret with you and anyone who chooses to read this.&nbsp; (Which, probably won&#039;t be enough to make a dent or matter.) </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; A perfect example is gift cards on ebay.&nbsp;&nbsp; You want free money?&nbsp; Buy gift cards on ebay.&nbsp; Any day, every day, no catch.&nbsp; For any chain store or restaurant you can think of.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; The point is, you can buy a $25 gift card to almost anywhere for $20 shipped without even trying.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; $100 gift cards can be had for $90 shipped.&nbsp; (They work the same as cash!)&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; But then when you go up to the $500 gift cards, I see many of them sell for $450, sometimes as low as $399 shipped!&nbsp; (But they go fast.)&nbsp; Because they&#039;re higher dollar amounts, more price that can be cut so, they&#039;re much better deals.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s the same 20% swing as the $25 ones but the higher you go, the more money you&#039;re seeing come off the price.&nbsp;&nbsp; Same goes for higher dollar coins, if you aren&#039;t careful.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s more risk and more room for fluctuation if you screw up.&nbsp;&nbsp; That is, if you ever change your mind and decide to sell something down the road for something else.&nbsp; Otherwise, no need to worry about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
