Except, of course, the sellers. And the auction house, which properly frowns on this sort of behavior. If bidders colluded at every auction,...
I was surprised that a coin would be worth less after you shined it up than it was when it was old and dirty! Fortunately, I learned this before I...

I'm not sure how a fixed-rate mortgage or car loan, which is a contract specifying a fixed nominal-dollar payment for a fixed number of months,...
