<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IBetASilverDollar, post: 2694053, member: 85251&quot;]Remove the fake part since obviously I agree someone selling a fake coin as real is not a good example of value (again, it&#039;s an outlier) and say thousands of people buy a watch for $300 on ebay that is complete garbage and any serious/educated watch collector would laugh at anyone paying more than $10 for...yes that watch is still worth close to $300 because the market is, whether rightfully or not, allowing for it to sell for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now long term value is a different story.&nbsp; That garbage $300 watch will be worth pennies in the future, that doesn&#039;t change it&#039;s current value being what the idiots are willing to pay for it (not just one idiot in an isolated sale, but consistent idiots).&nbsp; Similarly with a coin, like my example of the Silver Krugerand.&nbsp; I think you would agree $60 for a 1 ounce silver bullion coin is a little absurd.&nbsp; It&#039;s still worth $60 right now, that&#039;s what it&#039;s selling for.&nbsp; 2 years from now I don&#039;t have confidence it&#039;s worth that much.</p><p><br /></p><p>We may just have to agree to disagree on this one though which is fine since I&#039;ve learned about 400,000 things from your posts so far in my short time here (and I like Santini&#039;s posts too).</p><p><br /></p><p>edit: also not implying at all that people buying the silver krug are idiots, it&#039;s definitely collectible and I don&#039;t judge people for what they want to spend their money on, I just personally was not a fan of the price tag on that one[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
