Can you look at coins and not buy?

If so, how did you achieve this remarkable goal? For me, when I go to a show or place with coins I always find my wallet is in close proximity.
Hard to pass up a great looking piece or a good deal. Have you ever been able to go to a show and buy nothing?

been there before. I go to the Baltimore show twice a year and have
bought nothing at the show over the past 2-3 years. I go to the
shows to see what coins are on display and see my friends.
The few purchases I have made recently have been through eBay
and a dealer, and he mailed me the coins. Years ago however,
it was imposssible for me to go to any show without buying
coins. I used to live for that. I guess I am just getting old.

Can you look at LanLord's sig and not drool?
I can easily go to a show and not buy, because most of the time I think they are asking too much for what I'm interested in. (I'm not saying they are asking too much, just that I think they are.) I did go to Baltimore for 2 1/2 days and buy nothing, and when I came home my wife - who is supportive of my collecting - had to ask why I spent all that money to go there and come home emptyhanded.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Yes I could, but why would I want to do that? lol

By the way....how old are?
(You're old if coins made during your birth year are no longer considered moderns.)

I learned my lesson when I spent all day looking for a nice MS 65 Barber Dime three years ago. I was very frustrated because saw at least 20 of them, and only one was an okay -- not great -- coin; the rest were ugly or problem coins. So, I bought the okay coin and have regretted it ever since.
So, if it's not what I'm looking for and / or nice for the grade, I don't buy it.

I have to be very careful with my coin purchases because my wife often threatens to cut me off. In fact I have been cut off for the rest of the year. I know that if I buy another coin before January 1st that she will "cut IT off".
