@yingyung:
same as previously - do you try to get the items, just because they become available for less than issue?
Basically, no problem with this, but:
if you didn't find the coin attractive enough, to buy it for issue, how it became more beautiful for less?
Just think: why it discounted? Someone needs a money and knows, that he will not sell for issue.
I would understand, if you have same tactics as Yup76 (he has a list and simply haunts the coins).
But of cause I understand, that my question can not be applicable to:
Some realy expensive item (couple of hundreds), that somehow on sale now.
For the beginning collectors, that just have to buy some /many "old" items, and of cause they will try to get best price.
Added:
Sorry in advance if my curiosity sounds like "rude tone". It not the case, just want to know.

We don't buy them because they are on sale,we buy them because we like and collect them. (My wife is yelling we buy what we like ouch)if we only bought them because they were on sale we would need a warehouse to store them. |

This is from your previous post:
Just picked this up for 35% off for $77.96 at my post office was $119.95
This is 2012 coin.
You did find it on sale at local PO.
So it was available from 2012, right?
And 2 yrs (i think from April 2012) ago probably you both didn't like it.
Basically it your preference and your way to collect.
I do not know, why exactly started to ask, probably cause specifically this coin (together with 2009 one, which I
sought for, because didn't collect in 2009) inspired me to collect all Crystal Maple Raindrop coins.

Amazing coins, yingyang!
Congrats for picking them up!
Do not know about now-days (Glass coins, Superman...) but once they were expensive and desired.

Keep trying @Northerncoins, I found the patch helped a lot,
now going on 3 months shy of 2 years. More money for coins.

Nice coins , yingyang
I believe, now is "low season" also the silver dropped to the ground.
Try to get the 2006 and 2007, I remember, they have been offered closely to $180 each, when the silver was high.
