[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 623565, member: 11467"]You say that the market is plummeting, but you paid 20+% more for yours than others had sold for prior to your purchase. Yet, you still say that you got a "bargain". That doesn't make sense to me. A "bargain" has to be relative to something, as in what others sell for. Others have sold for considerably less than yours. So, while it might be fair to say that they were bargains (relative to yours), it's not accurate to say that yours was a "bargain" (relative to others). And, if "book" is $700, obviously it's not close to accurate, or representative of what the coins are actually selling for. I could have kept quiet and you would probably have felt better than you do. But I thought it was the right thing to make you aware of the current pricing, even if that makes me the bad guy here.[/QUOTE]
