[QUOTE="Phoenix21, post: 314066, member: 7424"]Lol, okay, here's more too my rant ;): Exactly. You do need a starting place, but still take most of the price guides and all out there with a grain of salt. They are just that, [B]guides[/B]. If I buy a coin I like, but Oh no! That guide over there says I should have paid this much for it, and that one over there says this much, some people will look at that persay as a numismatic sin. I like to use guides and greysheet and all to give me a bit of a ballpark figure, but that's about it. If I pay $5 over ask, so what? Like grading, I think when it comes to how much you should pay, I think it is subjective. Please don't get me wrong at all, I have absolutely no problem with coin price guides, or anything like that, but my only rant and problem is when it turns from a starting point and ball park figure, to what you [B]should[/B] pay for a coin or numismatic item. Please forgive me for my rant, and I am sorry for hi-jacking your thread USS. This is all just my opinion, and I could be way off and totally wrong. That's always my little disclaimer persay, lol. :D I am done now, thanks for the neat thread USS! :) Phoenix :cool:[/QUOTE]
