<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1053487, member: 15309&quot;]The difference is that I am conscious of when I &quot;pay too much&quot; for a coin and I don&#039;t do it with every purchase.&nbsp; My bids are usually what I would consider full retail price for the toned material that I buy.&nbsp; That means that when it comes time to sell, I will probably lose money due to transaction costs.&nbsp; However, I see no difference in paying full retail for toned coins than I do for untoned coins.&nbsp; If you consider purchasing items which you will know you will take a financial loss at time of sale &quot;not thinking with my head&quot;, then I am guilty as charged.&nbsp; I consider the loss to be the cost associated with the enjoyment of the hobby.&nbsp; A loss that I am more than willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you are talking about is something entirely different.&nbsp; You are claiming that toned coin collectors are just bidding/buying frivilously because they have an emotional attachment to the coin.&nbsp; While that happens from time to time, it is certainly not the norm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
