<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2518991, member: 19463&quot;]What ever happened to sales showing some lots as unsold?&nbsp; Some sellers used to issue a list of unsold coins available for the start bid.&nbsp; The problem is not allowing an owner to buy back a loser coin to avoid loss but listing that coin as having sold in the priced realized and having that fake sale become part of the price record of that coin.&nbsp; An auction house may not even be aware of buy backs unless they encourage the process by not charging buyer&#039;s premium on buy backs above the reserve or allowing hidden reserves above the opening bid.&nbsp; No one is suggesting people be require to sell their coin for a price less than they want but only that they should be required to list up front before the sale whether the coin will be sold if a bid of start or higher is placed or that the seller is not serious about selling the coin at the level the house is willing to list as an estimate.&nbsp; A coin that leaves in the same hand that it arrived is an &#039;unsold&#039; and should not enter the record to build a case for an even higher estimate in a future attempt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
