Even if I hit the lottery for millions I'd be hard pressed to find anything to buy! image

Is it just me or has the market just about dried up in the last couple weeks image

    I finally won a coin (actually 3) on eBay in the last 72 hours...first coins I've won on eBay in 2-3 months...so you may have a point...or it could just be me image


    We'll see how the Dallas ANA turns out!

    if you find millions to spend, hire me and i'll map out your trips around the US 48 to as many coin shows as you can handle, and i'll arrange all the accommodations.

    All I require is a bit of buy money and all expenses paid to travel along. :-)

    I'm ready to go anytime.

    Congrats! image

    I've actually felt it's been quite dry since Philly ANA.

    I hope your right about Dallas ANA as with fall upon us it's collector season.

    It's just you.

    Just off the top of my head, I can think of several coins I've seen in the past couple of months that I would buy.

    In my experiences it usually goes in cycles for me. I'll go for a while and find nothing I "need" (want image ) and then BAM, I find too many that I "need" (want image )

    You need to get into slabs - I'm always buying........ image

    Whenever I get impatient and just gotta scratch the itch, I buy something stupid.

    I've never had any problem finding neat coins to buy at any major show or in any major auction or in the price lists of major dealers. Lack of money has always been my problem.

    I've been finding good buys at Ebay through the "make an offer" utility.

    Here are recent pickups.

    Since 2009, I have purchased all of one coin each year. I have actually sold more than I bought, and I rarely sell anything.

    I had no problem finding coins in September/October, just problems bidding high enough to win them. In the british market I mainly play in there were a couple of very nice collections that came up over the past two months, some really excpetional coins. And they recieved really exceptional bids.
