<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3331258, member: 19463"]I generally have found that coins on which a 10% discount would make a difference on whether I want to buy or not end up being coins I will soon wish I did not buy at any price. Remember this post is in the Ancient section of Coin Talk. You who 'collect' 90% silver have different rules. Most of the coins I buy are things I wanted and did not have a long list of similar coins that were equal. If I wanted the coin for $90 but not for $100 and knew where I could get another for $99, things would be different. If I see a coin at $100 that I would have paid $200 for and have not seen another for ten years, playing games over $10 makes no sense. I just wish I would remember this and stop biding on coins I do not really, really want. Sellers who offer decent material at fair prices develop a following of regular customers. Those who try to make a killing on every sale make us talk about them as jokes here on CT even when the accidentally have something that is worth owning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
