<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 567440, member: 9474"]Well I wont mention exact price, I will tell you how I bid. Using a grey sheet, I take whatever the bid price is for the item and reduce it by 20% or I take the grade price for the item and then drop it down a grade, then I take off 10-20% off that price to come up with a range that I am willing to bid. Will I bid over... absolutely if I really want something, but I most often will pass on something rather than dump the money. It took me many years, but I have finally learned that you can usually find the same item for the same price or better later on.</p><p> </p><p>I got the best deal on the Franklin, followed by the Texas comm. I paid closer to bid prices on the 09 Lincoln and the 54 proof set. Even though I don't plan on reselling my coins, I always try to buy coins as if I were going to resell them. This is my way of assuring that I am building immediate value in the coins. Its like buying a home closer to appraised value than one that is not. The system works for me..... as long as I stick to it. :kewl:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
