<p>[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 2743655, member: 85251"]A true max bid should have everything you discussed here (all valid) factored in already though. Also maybe someone who buys and sells coins may have an "ideal max" where they have a more comfortable margin to work with and they would be wise at times to go above it essentially shrinking their margins a bit but still having a positive expected value. I'm not one of those people, I have no notion I can profit with coins and to be honest don't really care to right now. I just want to collect coins I like at prices I feel are fair. If I miss out on a coin by $25 that fills a need I'm comfortable with that and it happens all the time to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>The whole conversations started when discussing people who put in max bids they assumed would never hit, that did hit. I can't imagine anyone thinking that's a good idea in any instance. Going over what you're comfortable with from time to time when your gut tells you to is a different story from that. I'm a gambler myself and can certainly understand going for it from time to time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
