60 days ( more like 30)
77 items
$$ 2,050.33
avg $$ 26.62
I have not bought coins in a few years so that is my justification.. I have slowed down but I was wondering has anybody else bought like this, then slowed down to a normal level.

[:0] Addicted may be putting it lightly!  I have to admit I do the same although I usually purchase from a dealer. |

hahaha darn right... what scares me is I started out buying smaller items, I might buy 6 -7 items from one seller... and pay from 10 bucks to .01 for some items. Now I am only looking at items at around $100 bucks or more. From one cent to now 100 bucks in les than a month. Edited by Metalman

You may have somewhat of an "addictive personality" like most of us. Who can resist something that they see and like and the $ is good? I binge with e-bay depending on what I'm after at the time. I wouldn' worry about it Sid...you're just normal. However, if it starts to cause financial hardships then you had better ease off as real problems are down the road.

If your heart starts to race when your into the last few seconds of the auction, you might be addicted.[:p]

I see some of you guys are having a little fun with me...
But it is good to see I am not the only one who may have gone overboard from time to time...
I have learned alot in the past month or so.
Now I am much more selective, I got great deals before but now I know exactly what I want and what I want to pay and I am willing to wait, so I have slowed down alot on the # of items but I am spending alot more per item.
Anyway, there are worst things I can be addicted to.. I bet there is a name for being addicted to collecting coins.. Or maybe we can come up with one.

Trying to cut back on my amount of ebaying. I have replaced much of my bidding time with time reading on this site, much cheaper. I usually spend one evening a week on there, but throw down 15-20 bids.

I am addicted to "watching" auctions. I usually have no less then 10-15 I put on my watch list but rarely buy. I just don't have that much faith in ebay but I do like to know what a particular coin will bring when it's all said and done. I think I have actually BOUGHT 4 items in the last year. And two of those were sets from the mint because I thought they couldn't be opened with out breaking the plastic holders. I now know better, you can open those mint sets (I accidently did one of my own) and put it back together without any sign it was opened. Lesson learned!! Unless I know the seller, I doubt I'll be doing much buying on ebay in the future. But watching is fun too! Margaret |
