[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3710663, member: 74282"]I think it works both ways. Due to the curse of lot ordering I often have the following dilemma: Do I hold out for the Imperatorial lots(my collection being weaker in this area) or do I cast bids on a few special Second Punic War issues? More than once I've discussed an auction with a friend and come to the conclusion that I'm not going to win those Imperatorial lots and put my budget toward the earlier lots, often winning or at least driving up Clio and a couple other bidders' prices on them. That said, the opposite does certainly happen. I discussed one recent find that I haven't shared here yet, a choice and extremely rare victoriatus not correctly ID'd, with a friend who was planning to bid $600 on it. I was planning to bid $750, more if I could muster the funds. He sat it out and the coin hammered for $300 but he also spent the budget he would have saved for that coin at an auction the day before because he no longer felt the need to hold out for this one. I don't know what effect this has on the market overall, in both cases it was good for one consignor /seller and bad for another but I happen to know the consignor of the victoriatus was still happy with how it did(though he might not be if he sees this).[/QUOTE]
