What was I thinking when I pressed the button!? Condition too low and an area of numismatics I know less than the average third grader.......ouch! 160 euros.
Sorry, man. I've been there as well. What seems like a good deal one second, does not look so good the next. Often times, for me anyway, it comes when I see an auction coin with just a couple of minutes left and I only get a brief look at the picture and/or the description. I've forced myself to avoid bidding on coins with such a small window of time after having the same buyers remorse you're describing. Better luck next time!
In a VERY good seller scenario this could have been a $160 USD coin, definitely not 160 euro. All buyers get remorse at some point, you didn't pay that much for yours.
Not sure euros and dollars are that far apart these days....but I certainly shot myself in the foot with this one. Not a huge financial error but unpleasant none the same.
Euro was $1.30 yesterday, plus the banks vig. I here you. I try to never set up snipes on coins with less than a day to go. Gives me time to mull it over. Show me a coin collector with no bad purchases ever and i will show you a liar. We have all done it.
Most think this was an e-bay coin. I actually never buy off e-bay, only sell. It was off a live portal via SixBid. I had bought a pretty decent coin earlier in the day from the same AH, a 1933 Junk Dollar which commands quite a premium on the common 1934 but was simply hungry for more........wish I hadn't eaten!
I found out there were two bids of 160 euro on the coin so seeing if the other bidder wants it.......long shot but who knows,
