Home U.S. Coin Forum

What else do you do while surfing the forum? The best of multitasking.

I have heard that some play with their pets, babysit, watch TV and have a lap top on the couch, listen
to music, have other windows open simoultaneously such as Ebay, their email accounts, etc. Others
do it from work or while eating. Me? Right now I am sipping on a glass of V8 , iced. I also have my
Ebay and Yahoo windows open, which I check periodically. What about everyone else?

Happy holidays,
Brian.

    Pop reports are fun. I love numbers. I often wonder about how often certain coins are resubmitted.

    for 1857 flyers in ms 64 the pops are overstated by as much as 50%

    for many early commems that went much higher in the next jump/grade level during the 1989 comme boom the pops are also overstated by 35 to 45%

  • In answer to the question on the first post, I watch Happy Days! AAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
  • I have the TV on, and sometimes I listen to internet radio. image
  • I'm always browsing a car message board in another window, working eBay, instant messaging, sometimes watching the Simpsons.

    Well, sometimes I'll do work (when I access from work) or let the computer fetch from sourcesafe (which takes it about 15 minutes) or do a compile. At home, I may be listening to music, browsing ebay, reading email, that type of thing.
  • When accessing from work:
    listen to the radio
    talk to my boss and co-workers
    code PB scripts
    check yahoo mail
    hold yahoo im conversations


    When accessing from home:
    play with the dogs
    talk to spouse
    check out other pages
    listen to TV or radio
    identify coins and/or currency
    organize coins and/or currency
    pay bills

    Most of the time I am thinking of reasons to tell my girlfriend why I am always looking at coin stuff recently, other than that play with my dog, check ebay,mail and stocks

    I have 2 laptops going a server and my main machine all going at once in front of me in my bedroom. Laptops are watching foreign Metals markets and stock markets ( i am learning to make money while i sleep no easy task) the server is on ebay and serving the rest of the house security cams and 3 other wireless laptops for the students and my main machine is for chit chatting here and there.
    This is all done Via cable modem and router while the server and the niece and nephew who are students are online using My DSL line. My neighbor accross the street and another neighbor behind me are also using my dsl line via wireless 802.11a IN return i get my lawn cut my flowers cared for. And every body watches out for everybody else.

    E-Mail, E-Bay & PCGS open on the computer. Watching TV and trying to stay out of trouble.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • I am making a little webpage to show off the marbles I have listed on ebay. Someone posted yesterday that it was free listing day on ebay. I decided to take advantage of it and lose some of my marbles, literally!imageEver wonder what vintage marbles look like?

    I am usually monitoring the chat room on my web site, watching the MSN variety coin group of which I am a member, working on the web site, doing homework research, writing an article for publication, or doing my full time job, or any combination of these things. When I am here, I usually reload every five to ten minutes, otherwise I'm off in other things.

    The e-cake that is! Good for him, I don't have the stomach to try and make money in precious metals, (too volatile). I enjoy watching the prices, but I think I'll stick to real estate. Oh yeah, usually have an eBay window open while on the forum, or I'm playing with my nutty dog.

    I think its safe to say that every member has the Ebay window open while surfing the forum, including
    myself. I actually have multiple ebay windows open for different categories and denominations.
