<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2664155, member: 19463&quot;]Actually selling is not even a perfect sign of value.&nbsp; For example, I won some coins in an auction last month which means that I was willing to pay more than anyone else.&nbsp; That does not mean that I could put those coins back up for sale and get my &#039;investment&#039; back.&nbsp; There might possibly have been just one fool willing to pay that price.&nbsp; Valentinian&#039;s example of the coin worth $25 (maybe) is a good example of a popular business model in the hobby.&nbsp; You price everything at ten times a reasonable number and discount it to only 5X reasonable convincing the exactly one fool that he was getting half off rather than paying 5X.&nbsp; If you do this with enough coins, you might make enough money to keep it up.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold most of my stamps for a loss, too.&nbsp; All I collected were US before 1861.&nbsp; People with loose money prefer monkeys?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
