<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 388980, member: 6370&quot;]I have no intention of selling a single coin...if I did I would be professional and courteous as it is good business regardless of what you are selling. To be rude or apathetic wouldn&#039;t make sense. I wouldnt be a good seller anyway because I couldnt low ball people when buying to sell for a profit, I would be honest and tell the person exactly what the coin was worth and that they could probably get a better price selling it elsewhere. I couldnt flip coins...always someone will lose.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nor do I think those who DO sell (or make money from this hobby) care as much about Young Collectors and look to foster new collectors for any altruistic reason, to pass on the joy of the hobby, as much as the money they might spend. Collectors who collect because of a driving passion for the beauty and history that coins and medals represent with little real concern for whether they will make some form of profit in the end are the only true collectors and they are, as I have found, fewer in number. I like to think I am a part of that group as I have never wished to make money from this hobby. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As I said before, if a person has formed a passion for coins and medals then I would be more than happy to help them out if they ask and I am able. Its just not my purpose to try and cultivate and interest in coins or in any way try to bring new collectors into the hobby. There are plenty of people who feel that need and I never understood why one would feel the need to do this save for if they sell or have something to gain from it. One can say they have a passion for it and wish to share that but I also have a driving passion for it and just dont feel the need to pull others into it...for one, as I said before, the more buyers in an auction the more competition for those coins I want. I just dont like anything that might raise the price I have to spend to get the coins I cherish <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
