What is your CURRENT ..."stopper" ... price?

Not counting the WONDERCOIN that you may run across or the coin you've been looking for for years.
What is the amount above which you will ABSOLUTELY think twice and hesitate before spending?
As an example, if you generally buy coins regularly and the price for your area of interest is $100, where will the "price demon" show up?


Edited to add: NOT counting a piece to resell but rather a...."keeper."

    I've paid big money for coins before, but when it approaches the price of a Frame off Restoration ShoeBox Chevy...

    I tend to pause.....

    Russ, don't try to sandbag us. You bin offerin some AH Kennedys (ies?) fer 45 bucks and if you were buyin em at under 5, it would mean you are charging a PROFIT! And ...."profit"..... is a dirty word for coin dealers.

    You should know better.

    I have several "stopper" prices. It really depends upon the coin.

    Generally if a really special coin came along, I might send all my coins and buy that one.

    I'm glad to see I am not the only "poor" collector around image
