<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2847975, member: 19463&quot;]We can agree there is a lot of mispricing going on but we will not on who is making the error.&nbsp; As I recall one of our storm affected members has a nice one of these.&nbsp; They are not rare coins.&nbsp; Just because we see a coin offered at a price does not mean it normally sells for that price.&nbsp; There is a current fad of offering coins at very high prices and hoping some one will bite.&nbsp; Beginners and old timers alike need to decide whether they want a specific coin at a specific time and are willing to pay whatever the asking price is or whether they want to wait and see if something they want turns up at a price they want to pay.&nbsp; I have paid ridiculous sums for a few coins because I wanted it and wanted it NOW.&nbsp; I will go to a show later this month and see what I would not mind having at the price then quoted.&nbsp; The first technique gives you control over what is in your collection.&nbsp; The second gives coins you did not plan on buying but that seemed good at that moment in time.&nbsp; You can often control two but only two: <b>What, When and How Much</b>.&nbsp; Finding all three &#039;your way&#039; together is more often a matter of luck. </p><p><br /></p><p>I paid as much 20 years ago for some types of coins as I do today.&nbsp; I was more impatient then.&nbsp; Depending on what I see, I may be impatient later this month.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
