<p>[QUOTE="WpnsExpert78, post: 1518914, member: 34477"]The obivious reason for the new people is easy, trying to find value or such.

I have been a pretty private collector of things in the past and still am for the most part.

I mean I know we all need to be subjective but remember people are here for the main reason of getting help, to have fun and just to enjoy and share a hobby and to me thats what it is a "hobby". I don't make a living from it and if I get a good deal I try to pass it on. I have traded, sold and bought coins from many people on here and other sites and I would hope all of them would say I am fair. Almost every coin I post I would sale or trade. When asked I almost always ask "what would you give me for it?" and I may turn it down or counter offer but hey that is fine. I would rather trade then have cash and to some you may ask why but it boils down to a couple of things.

Being a Marine I don't give up, back down from a fight, I always stand behind my word and follow through with things. If I am wrong I admit and If you prove me wrong good I just learned something new today but that is ME and hopefully one day my girls will get there but for now they are just kids with a heart.
