All the time... fortunately, you always have the option to sell and recoup some (if not all plus some) of the money you spent. Most other hobbies, you've just spent the money. That's the story I tell my wife, and I'm sticking to it.

Oh yea. I have bought like 20 coins in the past 2 weeks.

My purchases seem to run in spurts, nothing for months, and then another batch of coins bought.

Yes I have. I just finished an eBay binge! I had a great experience with two of the best sellers I've ever come across. I'm done for quite awhile now though. (Unless I find stuff to sell on eBay to fund more coins!

An 1866/1866 Shield Nickel w/Rays

And this Winged Lib in PCGS MS67FB.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Ever sit there in auction and feel like you have unlimited money....and then realize what you just bought! Pure adrenaline rush. It's always so nice...in the heart of the moment!

airplanenut · August 17, 2005 12:27PM

100proof1957 · August 17, 2005 12:59PM

Drug binge ?

ever try to snort a Frankie ?

ibzman350 · August 17, 2005 2:30PM

I've been binging for a week now, heck even bought some coins from the snake, go figure a collector of widgets buying coins from the snake, only in America

Almost bought my first $1200 coin today, yup I'm binging.

The coins should start arriving tomorrow, that's when the adrenaline rush really kicks in, will the wife raise hel or won't she, will she decide to go on a spending spree or won't she...........only time will tell.
