Personally I hate waiting for the arrival of a purchased coin the most. It seems like the few days after the purchase until its shows up on my door step takes forever.

Gots ta be waiting on grades. I have a steady stream of stuff coming to the house but grades are only once in a while. I have 2 submissions that were received on the 4th and I check them every time I'm near the computer. I have OCD for sure!!!
I almost said #4, except there you never know if the wait will ever end. I've been waiting nearly ten years for some coins for my Lincoln set to simply appear in the market. #2 is much more painful to endure because you *know* the grades are eventually coming.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

You forgot to add waiting for PayPal to unfreeze your account after some putz decides three weeks after receiving his purchase that he really didn't want it afterall and files a claim.

#8 by a landslide for me. Especially when the UPS guy comes down my cul-de-sac three times that day but not to my house. I always think he is giving my coin to a neighbor.

I always check the status 2-3 times a day.
Even the same day they get received.

But right now, (and for a while yet), it'll be waiting for a particular coin to come back from NCS.

At which point you will still suck.
It's even worse when you've previously passed on that elusive coin, and now need to find it again.

Is this the Kennedy you showed me a couple of months ago?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Nope. It's a new acquisition.

But the longest wait wasn't on the list: waiting for the oft-delayed issuance of the Cherrypickers' Guide!

<< <i>Waiting to see if US Mint will fill your order , or out of stock , after six week wait. >>
That use to bother me but now I just give up on the Mint.
Now I just order and forget about it.
If I get it I get it.
So far I have always gotten what I ordered.
The 1/2 oz Platinum may be my first no show.
backordered to 2/15/2007

Easily this one mostly for me and most online cherrypickers. From the time you buy, you cannot wait to confirm your attribution.
