Why CRH will never catch on to everyone

[koala33]

A friend in PA started looking for silver a while back. He cannot get boxes from any banks in his area. I told him, "Why don't you try and buy bags from the machine?" He said, "The risk outweighs the reward." Thinking he will not find enough silver to make it worth his while.

While I have never done bags, I have seen some of your posts on here. CRHers will remain a small minority of the population. Most people are not willing to lug around coins to dump them.

laziness... people rather go steal a candy bar vs find a 40% to pay for it...

I am not sure the initial intent was for people to add reasons to this post. With that said, I have a reason I beleive that it will never catch on to everyone... Belief! Most people do not believe that they could ever realize such an amazing find like many of the ones people are posting on here daily. Same reason most people will never open a business, or quit there job that they hate.

I do however think that more people who are willing to do it are catching on every day, just in the few short months I have been doing this as a hobby, I have noticed many things that indicate to me that this hobby is growing in popularity very very quickly.

Happy hunting everyone.

So True.. some friends I have know about it.. but would rather waste time doing Fantasy Baseball, Football, etc or playing video games.

Although fun those things are, in the end.. you're not going to get ahead by playing bunch of games.

If a person was to get started CRH'ing today, I would be willing to bet they would have another solid 5 years before the silver runs dry. IF silver doesn't skyrocket too soon (and it just might).

We said the same thing back in 1980.

That is until prices came back down. It depends on the pricing.

Question for some of you veterans regarding that whole Hunts bros. situation and silver. For the hobby CRH'ing, Im sure that some of the elements were similair back then, to now. I am only 28 yrs old. I am looking at this from a very limited perspective (I was a toddler during the Hunts failed expiriment), so I am just curious as to what your thoughts are. When it comes to the price of silver, do you guys think that something is (or could, I should say) going to come along and knock it back down to 5 bucks an oz? Or even 20 for that matter? I am sitting here evaluating all the parameters (that I know anyways) and It is soooo hard (impossible actually) for me to imagine that silver is coming back down(say, 20 or less per oz.) anytime soon. But, then I think that alot of people probably thought that back in the 80's when the Hunt bros did their thing. Is it just impossible for me to imagine silver coming back down to next to nothing because I happen to own some of it? I am curious as to how some of you older CRH'ers feel about this and how and why it is different now then it was back in the 80's.

Thanks, happy hunting.

And don't forget that some of us find CRH'ing fun :P. Spending 1-2 hours a day doing something you like and making money while doing it? Sounds awesome in my book.
