Not exactly. I found a better system is to dig through someone else's stuff and find stuff to sell. You can save a lot of money that way. It would work better if my wife had better stuff to sell...



...and if she wouldn't notice so quickly that it's missing.

It is very difficult for me to sell anything. I have a guilty complex about it all but if I have to, I do.

Yes, but I try to sell stuff first to get the money first, but it does not always work that way.

OK Goose,

No, but then again I am anal-retentive and have a fixed monthly coin budget that I don't deviate from, which is a fixed percentage of my monthly income, so I pay the bills, put into savings, food, clothing, gas, and then the rest is coins. It works suprisingly good. Over 3000 PCGS and NGC certified slabs so far.
People will tell you that I only buy 4 of 5 coins a month. , but I make sure they are the best coins I can afford. Eye appeal is king and a budget is a must. It works for me, may not work for everyone, but then again, I did mention that I was an anal-retentive numismatic freak.

A while back there was a PCGS graded MS67DCAM birthmark die 1967 SMS Kennedy listed on eBay and I got ready to lay in a snipe for moon money. If I'd have won it, I'd definitely have been digging through stuff to find something to sell! When I clicked the button eBay burped, though, and I got a scripting error. I guess it was just not meant to be.

I had just over $400 in the bank when I bought this. The longer I looked at the auction pic, the more I thought, "Man, I deserve that coin. There's got to be some stuff sitting around here that I can sell to get that coin." Finally, I decided I'd buy it and worry about paying for it later. ....it was a mad scramble to sell a LOT of stuff before the credit card bill came in.

Sure have - found out it's alot easierto PAY top dollar than it is to GET top dollar......has made me more conservative.

I do the opposite. When I really want something, I sell items first and then buy it.

Been there, done that.

It's not that I don't have the $$ when I buy something so don't get me wrong. I just hate parting with money so I usually charge my purchase and pawn some old stuff off. That way (at least it seems) I can say "It didn't cost me anything honey"!!

Lets see what's the right (and nice) word for this? A bit thrifty are we?

I always tell myself I will sell this coin and that coin to pay for new one, then I say well maybe not yet

Yep just happened to me, bought a MS trade $ and found the bank acc was going to be a little to close to zero. It was time for the BST board, and hour later I was happy. Thanks.

It's on the way, BTW

billboat

Just did!

mgoodm3

No. I don't think I've ever actually sold anything except for a few bike parts. If I don't have the money for it, I don't buy it.
