[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25382297, member: 10461"]From my admittedly tiny would-be buyer’s viewpoint, the Ancients market has become difficult indeed. I keep coming up far short on the things I bid on. I might post a thread on it later, but for example, one coin (not a Julius Caesar) that I was confident on just closed earlier today. Under normal circumstances, it is a type which I believe should normally go for $200-$300. This one had a famous pedigree. I really wanted it, so I threw a $1,000 bid at it. That put me on top by a wide margin, well into the final hours. Then it closed for $1,300. My “stupid money” got surpassed by “even stupider money”. It’s starting to look like I will need to not only bid “stupid money” on the stuff I really want, but also start employing some sniper tactics (i.e., only bid at the last possible minute).[/QUOTE]
