🦘X-Metal Pricing - Relative Values

I think this applies to a lot more people here than most care to admit.

I'll admit it... I'm cheap as hell. I refuse to give someone the satisfaction of making a profit out of me. I've lost tons in my sales but that was out of necessity and not because I wanted to. All and all no one forces anyone to sell or buy anything. Maybe that's why x metals are taking a huge "Hilary Clinton" and they will be affordable someday. Well at least at original selling price. ;)

Meanwhile the Trump era has already brought the market to unprecedented levels (20k+). Unfortunately x metals are not commodities or securities.
 
So by your ways and logic, you are "safely hedged" because you believe your Plasma XX will hold value or appreciate but the Copper Penny will "come back to earth suckers!"?

You can't have it both ways brother
Indeed I can ;) The Funny thing about Plasma X xx it's already traded for 2 other X metals. Already have complete set. I get something esle someone wants, trade that for somthing esle some esle wants,etc The end result poof pb2 just glasses turns into A Romeo Ti. I lost about A third of my rating do to the new systems. Quite a few don't like there business of trading public,so I don't share that either. In the end everyone gets what there looking for and I move up a few steps with cost of shipping..

You're referring to a practice most are familiar with called flipping. Good for you. I've done it and I'm sure most here have done it.

But you're assuming just because you were able to flip that plasma XX into more value sets, that the others wouldn't be able to do the same with say a copper Penny (a piece you initially traded). Bottom line is the plasma xx value would go down just like the Copper if that were to happen. You constantly flipping "up" is just helping your personal situation, but it in no way are you coming out "better" just by the simple trade of the Copper for the plasma xx. All things equal those 2 pieces are right on par in valuation historically

All depends on the base line of witch you start at. If I have 0 into a set 1k glasses, I can't lose any money! Flipping then selling and rolling over profits into somthing,I get cheap from eBay or Cl I then start all over.. I have done this for for almost everything baseball cards, comics,cell phones,cars,laptops,iPads, watches, guitars,Furniture, clothing. Since I was a little kid, I have been doing this.
 
I enjoy this hobby because I love Xmetals I have very little of my own money still into it. I have said same tired thing for years to all on here about waiting for the right deals even if it takes years. Trading and learning cycles etc. I know older members are like damn, again dingo with same old tired advice:)
