<p>[QUOTE="Frank bugalski, post: 3139842, member: 95461"]"Not many Hobbies have cash value when you go to sell". Certainly the thousands I spent at ski resorts or traveling are examples. When you buy better coins you pay through the nose. All of us should balance fun against how hard we worked to earn our coin money and want to get back a hefty portion of money for the hefty money we paid out. Stamp hobby publications are receiving increasing amounts of letters to the editor bitterly complaining about five and 10 percent offers on the catalog values of their collections. When they bought they paid two thirds of catalog or better on average. </p><p>Some of the sellers writing in said instead of accepting dealer offers they elected to sell on Ebay item by item. They report getting substantially more. That's what dealers do: sell one coin or stamp at a time and the money piles up. Not everybody has the temperament or time or patience to sell piece by piece. But, surprisingly, a number of collectors who went that route enjoyed their pieces all over again as they researched and prepped them for listing. They were having fun and making money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
