What gives? Everyone getting ready for the school year to start or something?

notwilight · August 19, 2010 2:37AM

Happening at my house. My 5th grade son is depressed that his summer golf vacation is about over and in the mornings he will be going to school instead of the country club. My daughter is estactic that she is going to 1st grade in 4 days and counting. Back to school shopping, last minute summer plans we need to complete, all the rest of it. --Jerry

Is it a sign that interest in the hobby is fading?

MilesWaits · August 19, 2010 3:45AM

I got me some carpal tunnel syndrome from rolling so many damn pennies to pay for my Plat Proofs, now on the Waiting List!

I can't type with my wrists in traction.......please honey, let go now.

A decrease in ebay threads would be more than welcome.... they are always filled with whining rubbish. Cheers, RickO

Just moved my daughter into the dorms this morning. I officially am old enough to have a college student.

DNADave · August 19, 2010 5:23AM

a good coin thread will usually get about 1/10 the responses of a:

jelly donut thread
rubber chicken thread
dealer did me wrong thread
Laura said something thread
...

bushmaster8 · August 19, 2010 5:40AM

Yes. When it takes like 8 hrs. for a locked thread to move off of page 1, it is a slow day!

tightbudget · August 19, 2010 6:06AM

Off the 28th for another year of hard work...

<< Is it a sign that interest in the hobby is fading? >>

compared to a few years ago this place did seem more active
but i doubt we can use that as a measure of interest in the hobby.

after a while, for me, typing the same things over and over get old.

also the coins I enjoy the most simply cost too much money. After
spending more then a 1000 bucks on a couple single coins I realized that was
just not practical for me. I unloaded basically everything except some low ball
coins that are neat due to being original but I have no interest in actively seeking
them out. I just buy them when I happen to stumble upon them.

All hobbies go in cycles and in other hobby areas they are seeing a slow down
also from the boom years of recent past. the economy did not help either.

what will happen if gold tumbles to under a 1000?

Broadstruck · August 19, 2010 6:22AM

Whining threads have had a major increase as of lately.

jsf · August 19, 2010 6:28AM

I wish I could post about going back to school. I was fortunate and got to return to school at the ripe ol' age of 37, in 1990. Finished up the last time in '99/'00. If I got to go back, it would mean a lot more time in, on, and under the water. I sure miss it all.

...and you don't want to hear about my recent Walker upgrades, none of 'em are here yet.

can I get a double whine?

Lakesammman · August 19, 2010 6:32AM

Can't think of anything new - sorry.

jhdfla · August 19, 2010 7:02AM

Everyone's spellbound waiting for the next BIG announcement to arrive...

johnperk747 · August 19, 2010 7:02AM

Haven't had much to say!!
We did a 3 week vacation (5,082 mile road trip) up to Canada from So. Calif.
I took 2 rolls of the NP "Yellowstone" quarters with us and gave them out to a lot of the "little kids", it was a lot of fun doing that!!

Blessings to all

SkyMan · August 19, 2010 12:53PM

Yeah, verily, we be lacking many threads.

Of course it may just be that people are recovering from the ANA...

A wee tad too much...

ambro51 · August 19, 2010 12:54PM

I HAD to cut back. Being self employed...the computer in the office was taking far to much of my shop time, and something had to give. So, now.....Ive disconnected the internet and use it just as a "radio" with all the limewire tunes that are already on it. From now on, a casual post with the iPhone, or maybe something a little more involved with a picture post from the computer here at home.

Funny how the computer has came to dominate our lives. HOW did we ever live without these things????? Well, Im trying to find a way to live without one for at least 12 hours a day. So far, this has worked out really well. Dramatically increased my business output, time seems to flow a lot more evenly now that I dont run into the shop every 17 minutes to check up on the "net" and what I do on it.

anyway, the interest in the COINS has not subsided....only the degree of attachment to the computer.

School for some. Lots of post Boston ANA work for others. And still others are beginning to see some interesting signs of life returning to the market - keeping them busy.

melvin289 · August 19, 2010 1:04PM

Just like at work, we can't take a break and have fun anymore.

Don't blame me. I'm in Alaska right now and this is the first time since this morning I've even looked at this forum.

leothelyon · August 19, 2010 3:49PM

A lot of good points have been made but very few ever got addressed and when that happens in a habitual manner, people simply leave. There's really no reason for them to stay. People can talk to a wall for only so long.

I know a few years ago they were talking about a July Anchorage coin show. Hasn't become reality yet, though.

In Alaska right now taking a brief post-ANA leisure trip. I'll be back in California for a show this weekend and I'll be at two shows next weekend.

Oh...sorry, I thought this was roll call.

See post #1 on log on page.

BillyKingsley · August 19, 2010 5:00PM

I have been really busy with a pet project of mine and simply have not had time to get on the forums, at least not enough time to hang out in the US section. I have kept up better in the currency section though.

Yep...school starts the beginning of next month for me. I gotta get prepared!
