SCP-173 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Well I've never seen the forum bug and not even post the OP before. Sheesh. Anyway... With so many people selling their collections on eBay recently I've been able to pick some old 2003-2005 coins I've always wanted that I was never even able to trade for back in the day. Kind of ironic since I sold a number of my coins, but these days I'm focusing more on quality over quantity and just getting oldies I never managed to snag before. Anyone else been making a killing in the buying rather than selling field on there lately? Quote Link to comment
+The Moop Along Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yeppers. I've narrowed my seeking list down to less than one page, and a few more off that list in the mail. It's been great to build my collection with all the older stuff. TMA Quote Link to comment
+scavok Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I dunno if its a good thing. I'm definitely stimulating the coin economy though Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) It's interesting to see all the oldies moving from hand to hand both on ebay and all of the sale threads here. I wonder how long it'll be before something truly old and rare gets sold, and how much we'll see it go for! Edited February 11, 2009 by Vargseld? ™ Quote Link to comment
+UFgatorgirl Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 since i am new...what do you consider to be an old or rare coin? i saw a compass rose go for $50 Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Anything past 2005 is going to have a hard time grabbing my attention. I got one from 2003 just recently that I've spent 4 years looking for! Quote Link to comment

+Sivota Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 "A poor economy isn't all bad" Curious title??? I like geocoins, but I do feel sorry for the ones that have to sell their coins. That's painfull to them. This topic seems to be about rare old coins. Can't you change the title? Quote Link to comment
+UFgatorgirl Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 i guess it is about both. sorry i got it off topic. i feel sorry for the people too. getting rid of things you worked hard to get. Quote Link to comment

That's painfull to them. This topic seems to be about rare old coins. Can't you change the title? I have to agree with Sivota on this. Nothing against you or your collecting, I just feel for those folks as well. That's a rough title to alot of people. I'd rather see folks sell them because they want to not because they have to. I hope you understand what I'm saying, I'm not judging . Making a "killing" at someones misfortune sounds, a little cruel. Getting your chance to get your heart's desire is a wonderful thing. Letting folks know how lucky you feel to get a coin you'll cherish might make folks feel better. Just my Opinion that's all, Opalsns Quote Link to comment
