[QUOTE="Limes, post: 4798475, member: 101013"]I don't have an opinion about this specific case, as I do not know what is going on, and I don't know both sellers. But this post and some of the comments got me to ask the participants in this thread, and other board members who wish to reply the following question: what do you think of 'professional or semi-professional sellers' participating in auctions/sales, and then offering the coins they won in their auctions, or shops, for a higher price? I've seen this happening many times now, and not just with the 'high-end coins'. I know there is absolutely nothing illegal about this, but I do think this has a downside for the collector with a small budget. Prices are soaring and is this one of the reasons? Yes, there are many coins available, but I believe this is not merely incidental. What do you think?[/QUOTE]
