<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1142249, member: 19463&quot;]I think many &#039;collectors&#039; miss three big points here.&nbsp; First, money is only important to people who have less than they would like to have.&nbsp; When you actually believe that you have more money than you need, you see no problem paying ten times what &#039;little people&#039; believe it is worth.&nbsp; &quot;If you have to ask the price, you can&#039;t afford it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Second: Agents follow instructions.&nbsp; If I tell you to buy something at any price, you&#039;d better buy it.&nbsp; This only gets noticed when two different guys butt heads on the same coin.&nbsp; When you really want something on eBay, you can bid $1000 and hope no one else bids so the thing will be yours for the $1 opening bid.&nbsp; Either way you get the coin you wanted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third: Some people actually like their coins for what they are not for their profit potential.&nbsp; If, all of a sudden, coin prices dropped to 1911 price levels, some of you would be suicidal while others would go on a buying spree getting things that they always wanted but could never afford.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just hope that when the Shiek gets bored that he sells the coins for 1/10 what he paid rather than melting them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
