[QUOTE="Duke Kavanaugh, post: 1654820, member: 20544"]I don't understand people like you either. What does it matter what people pay for their coins? I'm betting you have something that I would never pay that price for such as a expensive computer or name brand shoes that can be bought for less somewhere else if you look hard enough. But what does it matter? They wanted it, they used their money on it because they like it. That is how commerce works. I sometimes wish our hobby would not focus so much on how much it cost. Do you think that the antique market or sports card market or Art market looks at things like this. Imagine this: [I][SIZE=2]Well honey I do like that Monet but he probably only has a canvas mat that we could pick up for $10 and the paints are cheap enough at Michaels for $100 but that frame has got some nice wood that we can get directly from the mill for $200 so I just can't see why people are paying more then $350 for that painting.
