[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1328075, member: 112"]One of my ways of dealing with this situation is rather simple, and it used to happen to me rather often. If I ran across a coin I wanted and then saw that somebody I knew already had a bid on it - I'd walk away. Whoever got there first is what determined it in other words. But it also depends on the other person. When I was still buying coins there were some guys, that I considered friends, that I would openly compete with on a regular basis. And we'd joke about it even. Swear we'd get even with the guy - that sort of thing. But I have also known people who would actually get mad at me if I outbid them on a coin. Even when I didn't know they were bidding. Like I said, it depends on the person. 'Course you can ask yourself, is this particular coin worth possibly costing you a friendship ? Another coin will surely come along. Will another friend ? There really is no right or wrong with something like this. You know the guy - go with what your gut tells ya to do ;)[/QUOTE]
