I'm off to Baltimore. I skipped the last one in November so I'm itching to go. Should be fun! image

    So how far does the permission from the wife go? For example, I'm pretty sure Tiger Woods exceeded the permission that his wife had granted. In this case, there may be a limit set on NEWPS. In that is the situation, then I'd say, "it's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission." We could probably get the forum to set up a 10 week Coin Addiction Treatment Center if you get into real trouble.

    I got permission from the wife to go, not to buy anything.

    But I live by the principle "it's easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission".

    If you see something you like and negotiate a deal on extended terms your really not purchasing anything while there image

    Just do what most wives do and claim the item was on sale there by actually saving money as opposed to spending money

    I cant wait to get in the truck and jet down 95 to the "BIG SHOW"... Im not worthy of a Longrace encounter... So I must contain my sadness to some degree.image

    But, Ill be there all day Saturday looking for N.O. gold dollars, and beat to crap Large cents.

    You plan you staying until Sat?
  • MidLifeCrisisMidLifeCrisis Posts: 10,584 ✭✭✭✭✭
    As of right now, I plan to be there most of the day Friday. But if something exciting happens - like a complicated trade/cash deal for a significant rarity, for example - I might have to come back on Saturday.

    Or backdate the purchase as a layaway so that it looks like you're just picking up something you already bought. I wonder if that could get around the sales tax issue there. image

    Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

    When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.

    One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

    "I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million."

    Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother!
