<p>[QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1857305, member: 38783"]Sometimes depends on what it is you are looking for and I can see it from that angle, but not regularly. For the most part I agree, seems a lot of prices go up with no real rhyme or reason and just people getting into that "gotta have it" mentality, or shills. But, I've been known to nuke a bid here and there if it's a coin that I don't feel like passing up and I become "one of those people"... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn't always work out tho. For example I did that with another member the other week for an Ike variety (not knowing it was him until after). I put a pretty high bid on it, over PCGS book simply because it was a registry coin I needed for the set, and it was the first time I had seen one come up. Won the coin, then the seller put another one up for sale right after. Apparently they had 2. Worked out well for the other member, as he got the second one for quite less. But, I have it now, and I haven't seen another one come up since, so in a way I'm happy even with overpaying since I did at least assure myself I got it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
