<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 220079, member: 6370&quot;]to illustrate my point I was trying to make about being patient and looking for the best for the best price. Take my search for a Westfalen Notgeld (some might remember that thread)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I got it in my head I wanted an example of this coin, I went out to search for one and found poor example for cheap and very fine examples for more than I wanted to pay...but I didnt have patience so I went ahead and bought a real rough worn abused example of the coin for cheap.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It wasnt that long after that people started pointing me towards (or I found) several very fine examples for sale for just a fraction over what I bought the worn example for...they were just good deals. I ended up buying one of the better ones...so I ended up buying the same coin twice...if I had waited...I could have just bought it once and saved the money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Certainly worn examples of some coins are all you can afford sometimes and you know it...but even then you want the best quality and least wear possible right? If it is between buying a heavily worn coin now for X amount of dollars or waiting...and spending a small percentage more for a coin that you might find that is quite a bit better but not that much more than the worn example (a good deal)...it just makes sense to go for the nicer example...I would think at least.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What if instead of buying that mid grade for 100...you were about to buy a batter grade for 150-200 because a good deal came along but you already spent money on the mid grade? I dont sell coins ever...period...so I want the coins I DO buy to be as good as I can get them...higher grade coins are not just for money...not for me at all as I have never sold a coin...its just about getting the nicest example of the coin I can for my money...I would rather wait, spend a bit more and get a good deal, then to settle and get a coin that isnt as pleasing to me...I just like my coins to be in as good of shape as I can get them...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
