No need to apologize. Like I said a few times, when a coin is UNIQUE -- that MSD was high rated AND CAC -- I have no problem paying ABOVE FMV....
In the case of someone into a coin at a very high price, I find them to be totally non-flexible. But if they ARE flexible, that's why you can't...
Gotcha....then why did they apparently get hot in the early-2000's ? There was also a great thread over at CU talking about 1 guy showing how a...
MD, I think you and I are in agreement. You probably bid on stuff that is reasonably priced. I am seeing stuff -- some MSDs, some Saints -- where...
MD, remember this: I am talking about low-balling on coins that have REPEATEDLY not gotten offers for weeks or months because the seller has a...
I've learned that people selling on Ebay are not only bad with pictures but some very good. I see stuff that has the lighting angled such that...
Yeah, but alot of these sellers are amateurs and jerks, listing the same piece for months without any activity. I see it all the time with $20...
McBlzr, can you tell the difference between the normal and Ultra Cameo versions of the Reverse Proof ? I love my coin but the blackness of the...
Maybe....but sometimes you get lucky. If the guy has repeatedly listed his coin multiple times and gotten no activity, if I bid low and then he...
Just got mine today....LOVELY coin....though the devices are NOT as dark/black as in the photo. I think I am learning that what you see on the...
Did the market for Franklin's hit an air pocket back in 2009 ? I saw a thread over at CU saying some Franklins and FBL's were down 60-80% from a...
Wow, 61 bids on this 1879-S Reverse of '78 with 1 day left....I considered bidding yesterday when it was in the $350 range....
Agreed...if someone has a special coin, I'll pay up. In fact it happened a year ago on one of my Morgans. Guy wanted $900....I didn't notice the...
MD, a few people may have acted like that but MOST of the ones I have dealt with have come down enough to where I put in a real quality bid. Alot...
OK, I see your point.....but if he comes down a reasonable amount I am going to treat him right, too. My point was he was SO FAR ABOVE FMV that I...
Ummm....I do NOW !!!!! :D
OK, I put in a stink bid about 40% below his asking price. I checked HA and I think the market was $225 or so. So he was high by 40% and I came...
Can you explain exactly why/how it doesn't have "much eye appeal" ?
What will you be buying ?
Guess it must be so. Just insane. Look, I've bought a few fractionals but I think the most I paid was like 45% or so for a 1/20th ounce China...
