QOTW # 28: Is it more fun to buy coins? or to sell them (by auction or not)?

[James_OldeTowne]

Simple question.

[Coindude]

Did you post this to the right forum?

 

Buying by far!!

[bsshog40]

Of course, Buying!!!

[leeg]

I've usually taken a loss when selling, so it's buying for me.

buying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

selling is the problem

 

losing $$

 

rat collectors and dealers low balling you and telling you that your coin is a piece of mess

 

auction consignment directors telling you that you coin is only worth half of what you know it is worth and telling you to put it in unreserved as this creats more bidding activity and that they will only charge you a 10% sellers fee as they got to eat too

 

lots of mean, disrespectful, nasty, smelly, dirty, foul mouthed buyers at coins shows when showing coins trying to sell them

Selling is often similar to a tooth extraction by means of a string tied to a door knob being slammed with no novacaine!

I concur with all of the opinions stated above.

LMAO. Yeah Michael, tell us how you really feel. (but I certainly agree 100%)

[HollyDay Coins]

I'm a dealer (sorry Michael), and I would definetly say buying. Selling is fun too, but it's like breaking up with a really hot girl, because you can't afford to take her out anymore. But, a lot of times, If you don't get rid of her, then you can't make room for the next one. So, there is always a silver lining. Jake

well these experiences of mine are my own others might have different experiences

 

 

but i guess i dont get around too much and i might need to find more passionate end user collectors for better results

 

 

but i have found some fair, nice buyers but they are downright uncommon
