<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IBetASilverDollar, post: 2743468, member: 85251&quot;]What you typed here has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted.&nbsp; Since you couldn&#039;t disagree more with what I posted then you believe the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. You believe it&#039;s the computer&#039;s fault when someone spends more than they were willing on a coin after they inputed that amount into the computer as their max.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. You believe if the most you&#039;re willing to spend on a coin is $500 it&#039;s a good idea to input $600 as your max and assume it won&#039;t reach it anyways, instead of just putting in your max at $500.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you truly disagreed with what I wrote and believe the 2 above examples (the opposite of what I posted), then I don&#039;t believe we have anything further to discuss here.</p><p><br /></p><p>But to answer your question:</p><p><br /></p><p>If my max bid is $200 then yes I would say no to meeting in the middle at $225.&nbsp; My max is $200 and $225 is more than that, I&#039;ve only been collecting for a little over 6 months but I can tell you with certainty I&#039;ve learned the dangers of not being disciplined with your budget.&nbsp; Where does in end in that example?&nbsp; You inch up to $225 then the dealer gets an offer for $245 and comes back to you and says &quot;hey it&#039;s now $250, you were willing to spend $225 would you come up?&quot;.&nbsp; Again now it&#039;s only $25 more.&nbsp; You have to have a limit and if you&#039;re worried it&#039;s a rare coin and you need to act on it then that limit would be higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now in the style auction davidh brought up if my max was $200 and it got outbid but 15 more minutes was added to the clock I am MUCH more likely to emotionally decide to go up to $225 with that extra time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
