<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 8280619, member: 120820&quot;]What I do is keep my own database of coins in my collecting area, together with prices and sale dates. I normalize all prices into dollars adding in buyers fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>When preparing my bid limits for an auction I do the reverse, and figure out what my max bid should be in the auction currency given a max dollar price I&#039;m willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>e.g. If based on historical prices, etc, I think a coin is worth $100, and the auction is in UK pounds (1 UKP = $1.31) with a buyers fee of 20%, then I&#039;ll calculate my max bid as 100 / 1.31 / 1.20 = UKP 63.61, then maybe round up (and anyways probably allow myself to go an increment over my &quot;limit&quot; anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>Google is great for currency conversions (all sorts of conversions actually) as well as math. e.g. If you want to know the current UKP to USD exchange rate then do a Google &quot;search&quot; for &quot;1 UKP in USD&quot;. Or, if you want to know what 50 UKP would be in dollars with a buyers fee of 20%, then &quot;search&quot; for &quot;1.2 * 50 UKP in USD&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
