Non-buyer's remorse

RYKRYK Posts: 35,797 ✭✭✭✭✭
How often do you wait and wait and wait to buy a coin for sale...admiring it and considering it...and as soon as you find out the coin is no longer available, you wish you would have purchased it. I am sure that it is part of the OCD.

Here's the latest example of my "non-buyer's remorse":

    You made the right decision not buying that one.

    It's happened to me on more than one occasion.

    I do that a lot. That is a nice coin. Why did you hesitate?

    It's happened to me thousands of times and has kept me from going bankrupt. image

    Although I am getting close. image

    You're just trying to make me feel better. It won't work.

    Why did you hesitate?

    Usual reasons: I already have that date (but not as nice), coin is expensive, yada yada yada...

    Of COURSE imageimageimageimage

    This is what collecting is all about. Just make sure you don't break the bank. Oh and make sure it is not an impulse buy. Oh and while you are thinking about it make sure you don't miss it or you will get that non- buyer's remorse again.

    I was considering the lost coin AND another similar coin and could not decide between the two. The decision just got easier. image

    Nope, just making sure you have enough to get that really cool D or C coin when it comes on the market because I know I can't get it so you might as well add it to your collection which I can view online anytime. image

    I keep some in my "Watched Items" on Ebay just to continue to torture myself for not buying.
