<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bp0405, post: 532645, member: 12598&quot;]I have been to many estate auctions in my hometown. Few things I have learned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. All coins are marked with a grade (these were graded when they came to us). Whatever grade they have I lower it to come to an amount that I would be willing to pay. It pays to have a good idea what the grade actually is.</p><p>2. Some people are one up on me already. There is one guy I know that spends an aweful lot of money but he is never there prior to the auction to take a look at the coins. Would assume he has a private viewing.</p><p>3. I now know who the high rollers are. When they start bidding its time for a Pepsi break.</p><p>4. There is no such thing as a bargain. At least I havent found one yet.</p><p>5. Some people have way to much disposable income.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do enjoy going to these auctions. It is entertaining to be around people with the same interest I have. Have learned a thing or two along the way which is never a bad thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
