<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 751844, member: 13650&quot;]Well, no matter what (and this may seem like a very obvious and basic statement),&nbsp; I think the more that is paid for a coin or anything, the harder it is to recoup the initial investment.&nbsp;&nbsp; No matter how nice it is.&nbsp; Somebody will always want it cheaper.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen some toned coins in the $300-500 and 1000+ range sitting on ebay for over a year.&nbsp; Who set these price points?&nbsp; Who knows?&nbsp; Maybe picked out of a hat?</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;re nice.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure they would sell at the right price, but they aren&#039;t selling at their current one. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Someone who hasn&#039;t been paying attention over the past year, may come a long and buy up one of them for $600 buy it now, not knowing what I just mentioned.&nbsp;&nbsp; Then they may decide to sell it next month and re-list it starting at 0.99.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can bet they would likely take a heavy loss and probably have a bad attitude about the toned coin market from then on.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Whereas, a $50 coin....... you should be able to get $50 back out of it pretty easily, even in a down market.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Even if you only got $40 back out of it, the actual loss is minimal, despite the percentage.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There&#039;s just so much more room for price fluctuation and speculation once you get up into the 4 digit range and beyond on all this stuff.&nbsp; &nbsp; A lot of higher priced coins I&#039;m sure are taking huge hits right now because of this fact.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Where a $120 coin might have it&#039;s value down to $115 now and it&#039;s not that big of a deal.&nbsp; &nbsp; The game all depends on what level you&#039;re willing to play at and how much risk you&#039;re comfortable with.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s a double edged sword with higher end, really nice stuff.&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes it may be premium and you may have paid a high price to get it, but it also means there&#039;s a much smaller pool of potential buyers who can afford it.&nbsp; Something&nbsp; you have to live with and expect when the time comes.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; There really aren&#039;t that many coin collectors to begin with.&nbsp; Then, how small of a slice of those people are knowledgeable, and not only buy high end, but toned coins?&nbsp;&nbsp; The slice gets thinner and thinner, even though the popularity may have gone up.&nbsp; &nbsp; Plus, you probably know yourself that even the people who are into them..... even the big spenders,&nbsp; can&#039;t afford to buy everything they want!&nbsp;&nbsp; Which is yet another limiting factor to the seller.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just something to take into consideration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
