<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1961716, member: 42773&quot;]Best of luck to you. I hope you don&#039;t take my words as discouragement, but I assume you&#039;ve been asking for advice so that you can succeed.&nbsp; I would strongly recommend that you do two things before you bid on a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Research the coins as thoroughly as you can. That link Steve gave you is the first thing that comes up if you google &quot;Parion drachms.&quot; You also get Ed Snible&#039;s site, and a page of coins on Wildwinds. You don&#039;t have to get arcane about it, but at least do an internet search.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Look closely at the sold listings on eBay and compare the coins in the lot you&#039;re considering to the grades and realized prices of the sold items. Calculate what you should pay for the coins in order to make the profit you want, and don&#039;t go over that bid. If you lose the auction, there will be plenty more later.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short: know your product, know your market. I learned it by the school of hard knocks, but that&#039;s OK. Typically you have to fail a bit first in order to succeed later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
