dan mckeeI know Trevor. He is a nice guy and a class act. But I must disagree with him. In the last 2 years I have met over a dozen guys who have "jumped" in blindly with tons of "dumb" money. I know many read this board but it is still my opinion. A few have become very good friends of mine and constantly call or write for advice. I meet these types by being out bid on something I really want and then asking the auction house to give them my contact info. Also, writing on ebay if they bumped me there.
New blood is great for the hobby. All hobbies need that to keep growing. There is nothing wrong with it. But yes, I much preferred the old days when I actually had a chance to buy something I wanted. I cannot compete now on most things I want because I have a normal middle class job and a family. There is nothing wrong with people having alot more money than me to spend on this hobby, but it is also my right to cry about it.
I am accepting donations for everyone who feels sorry for me J/K.
