<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1989670, member: 41863&quot;]The problem is the old timers have a vested interest and ego attached to the &#039;old ways&#039; that isn&#039;t computing the fact that some of us young crowd can use technology to hedge some of our weaknesses and jump over some of that hard work that they deemed necessary to be successful at this game. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t understand why people can&#039;t look at this and say &#039;hey, this works for VV, he provided some proof, so maybe I can do this&#039;. I can understand why dealer types would want to dissuade the crowd, but any advocate for the collector should be saying at least try your method if for nothing more than to learn another way to approach the hobby and to gain the insight. </p><p><br /></p><p>I like your coins, and would want to own many of them myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can also say that the majority of my shopping is via online venues, and that I utilize that same tool at shows. Comparing coins and checking prices to ensure I am getting the most for my money. It&#039;s not my job to be competitive, that&#039;s the dealers and they have the same access I do. </p><p><br /></p><p>Right now I have many interests and can always find a good dealer with a good piece to help support for my enjoyment of the show and the very chance to be there. </p><p><br /></p><p>So for instance if I was in your place with the Thick Norse, I would note that I could buy one cheaper than at the show, add it to my watch list, and then move on to spend a few bucks at the show, to as I said earlier, support the good dealers and ensure the shows continue in the future. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m so in love with the hobby that I honestly enjoy it all, even fooling with aggravating dealers and attending lame shows from time to time. I don&#039;t want to lose any of it so I support it (the good stuff anyway) and enjoy it while it&#039;s here, but at the same time, I refuse to spend my hard earned money on crap or inflated prices. Thus I shop accordingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
