The "unsearched" wheat roll

[josht]

I've finally come to my senses and decided to stop buying "unsearched" rolls off of E-Bay.
I've been buying these things for quite a while now at 5 to 15 bucks a pop. I love the excitement that comes with 'em, but after examining my collective expense on these things, I think I've made some really poor decisions towards reaching my goal of a nice penny set. I'm quite certain I could have a better set than I do currently, had I just started buying nice, individual coins at a set price instead of the rolls. I also see a lot of nice, already completed sets selling at good prices. Granted I don't see much fun in buying a set that's already completed, but hey, It beats getting ripped off! I'm tired of seeing the towers of '58d's and their plain date 40's and 50's counterparts casting shadows over a measly AG teen or twenty. It's gonna be hard to do, but from now on if it has the word "unsearched", I'm gonna have to let 'er pass. JT

It has occurred to me, as of the present, that this post was written in haste with the ink of buyers remorse. I realize that perhaps and, most likely, many of you sell pennies on E-bay and very likely, the "unsearched" rolls aforementioned. For anyone who reads this post and might be dissuaded from purchasing such said rolls, I would like to add, that I have purchased good rolls from the 'Bay. However, expect a much heavier price-tag. I guess it still rings true the adage,"you get what you pay for".
