<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oz_in_ohio, post: 2833343, member: 89534&quot;]Hi all, i am originally from Australia and have migrated to Cleveland Ohio.</p><p>Just as my cointalk username says...oz_in_ohio</p><p><br /></p><p>Many years ago when i was in cub scouts, i started collecting stamps and </p><p>coins when i was 8 years of age...I am now 60... I did it with my late dad.</p><p>&nbsp;I kept the collection intact simply as a reminder of how the both of us spent time together years ago&nbsp; but now i want to sell them off.... </p><p><br /></p><p>I learnt when i was young that no matter what an item is:</p><p>&nbsp;EG House , Car , Furniture, Coin, War Medal, Banknote, Painting,</p><p>&nbsp;Gun, Flag etc etc etc has on it in any store , shopfront , online site</p><p>like this , trade show&nbsp; and so on that it is only worth what a person or</p><p>&nbsp;persons are willing to pay for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;When in cub scouts i once asked a dealer at a small stamp and coin show </p><p>what is the best item on his table? He simply replied &quot;the last item he had sold&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;My dad understood but i did not.... </p><p>Like he was speaking with me, he was also serving other customers.... </p><p>As soon as he took the few dollars for an item, he then said that is the </p><p>best item and so on. He then explained no matter how many thousands of </p><p>dollars he has in stock, if he has just sold something for $2.00 then that $2.00 </p><p>item is the best item he has as it is now gone and he has the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is then i realized as he was selling the low end of the hobby, the people </p><p>with all the upmarket items were sitting around twiddling their thumbs..</p><p><br /></p><p>I was very intrigued by that and used that theory all of my life.... I have been </p><p>collecting stamps, coins, medallions etc for 52 years and now i want to wind it </p><p>down as my kids have no intrest..</p><p><br /></p><p>feel free to ask questions[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
