What's more fun - buying or selling?

What gives you more satisfaction - buying a coin for $100 less than what you think it's worth, or selling a coin for a $100 profit?

Buying is always more fun... Even if you overpay!

Murphy

Bout the same to me.

For me, as a collector, buying IS fun. Selling is like parting with an old friend.

Collecting...

Either or making a good deal is a great feeling. Just wish I could have that feeling more often.

Buying and then selling the coins for a profit

Buying is always more enjoyable to me.

I love em both!!!

I'd rather buy. I'm a lazy seller lately. I left at least a grand on the table on my last submission because I didn't feel like crossing the coins. The buyer was happy though.

I'd have to say I prefer making the profi more than buying at a reduced price.

Buying.

The finding and the buying. Now the buying is the best when the coin is just what you were looking for, a bit undergraded, and priced liked the dealer doesn't know the real value of the coin, but went off the greysheet pricing.

I picked $375.00 worth of coins last week at my local dealer that were all like this. On Ebay these coins will sell for probably $550 - $600. After I sell them I will have another rush knowing that I made money on coins, sold by a coin dealer of 30 years.

Selling at a high, buying at a low. And collecting! One out of three ain't bad!!!

Neither one...

Finding something worth keeping in what I've bought is best for me. Buying means something to look through for value, and selling means I didn't find anything in them. I generally keep about 5% of everything I buy. The rest goes right back out.

from a collectors point of view..................

i would say buying is more fun as if you are going to make money

you make money when you buy not when you sell

also buying is more fun as if you want something for your collection it is a thrill to buy it something you have been looking for as with selling it is stressful to sell as the reason for selling is usually not as positive as buying

Buying if it's something I need for my collection, selling if it's something that I don't really care for.

Both, but there is kind of a nice feeling going out to the mailbox and finding an envelope with a check in it.

For my collection, buying is a lot more fun than selling.

For the business selling wins by small margin because of income and the fact that I get more money with which to buy some new inventory. However finding a want list coin, that will result in a sure-fire sale, is the best of all. I get to make a collector very happy, and naturally my business benefits.

Filling a hole is what it's all about.

But all else being equal, selling is far more enjoyable for me than buying and a mutually beneficial trade is better still.
