<p>[QUOTE=&quot;invictus, post: 285069, member: 9973&quot;]I don&#039;t see how &quot;scarce&quot; and &quot;in demand&quot; a low value coin can be, it sounds like a self-negating concept, but I won&#039;t argue the generality that there are coins under $40 that will go up in value to a good degree. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We all have different ideas of what our time is worth. I&#039;m busy and value my time highly, so a &quot;decent&quot; percentage return on something with a base value of only 40 bucks isn&#039;t going to result in a dollar gain that I would appreciate. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Let me try to create an equation to quantify how I see this operating, and give you all an opportunity to stamp my planchets in disagreement:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cost basis of your investment = (Base investment + buyer transactional fees + tax on purchase + (all time spent on research and transaction x your labor rate) + misc. expenses)</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point the cost basis is most likely far greater than the market value of your purchase. So you&#039;re immediately in a loss situation, unless you really nailed it on the purchase price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sale value of your investment = ((Coin sale price - seller transaction fees) - the % value the dollar has lost since you made the purchase) - (all time spent on research and transaction x your labor rate) - misc. expenses.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the Sale Value &gt; Cost Basis, you can see how the variables need to work out. With a mere $40 investment, your gains need to be huge to overcome the other variables.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus the best way to compensate is by jacking up the numbers by investing in higher value coins right off the bat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
