<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7516878, member: 19463&quot;]First off, yes, as a matter of fact.&nbsp; Many of us here spend more than 5K a year with the complete blessing of our family.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thirty years ago, I was told by a dealer that a &#039;serious&#039; collector was one that spent over $1K a year on coins.&nbsp; I suspect the CNG number today is higher???&nbsp; There are ancient coin dealers who rarely have any coins for sale that are less than $1k.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you have such great coins, sell some of them for 1/4 what you paid and raise the $35k.&nbsp; You can choose which toy to keep but can not have the car, the coins and the wife.&nbsp; Many of us have had to sell coins for a loss when we discovered ourselves overextended.&nbsp; You will survive that.&nbsp; I hear that divorce is expensive so your wife might get the coins in the settlement.&nbsp; You may as well sell now.&nbsp; Toy cars are expensive.&nbsp; Ex-wives? </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a woman but find this matter as offensive as Donna did.&nbsp; Your wife will have no trouble finding a lawyer who will use your attitude against you and take the coins.&nbsp; If you are lucky, she will get the car, too.&nbsp; I never owned a Porsche but I did have a &#039;71 Audi that ate two transmissions and one engine in four years.&nbsp; Interestingly, that was about the time I sold my 150 ancient coin collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had not thought of the troll possibility but I have known several people every bit as dumb as this.&nbsp; I recall one guy that traded trophy wives twice and had two different judges give each half his income.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how that worked out for him in the long run since he lost his job because the &#039;situation&#039; was deemed a security risk. $4000 is not a lot of money in the subset of people who bid heavily on CNG sales.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t have $4000 to pay for the coins, tell CNG the situation and hope that they will take you back after both the car and the wife are just memories.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
