[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 8320441, member: 120820"]So it seems, no surprise, that we have mostly "type 1" (non-investment) collectors here, although of course the lines may be a bit blurred. I'm curious how many "type 1" collectors will nonetheless occasionally opportunistically buy something specifically to flip for profit? I hardly ever do it myself (maybe less than half a dozen times over the course of almost 20 years), mostly due to laziness. There have been a couple of times I've really kicked myself for not doing it though, such as the time (2009) I passed up buying this coin for a fixed price of EUR 1000 .. then saw it sell a few months later for $5400 :( I'd like to think that if a similar opportunity came up that next time I'll do it!
