<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 8258689, member: 82322&quot;]Although there are good deals at fixed prices there are also comically high prices as well.&nbsp; Many dealers will not budge on price even if something has been in their inventory for years.&nbsp; They would rather tie up their capital than fail to break even on a deal.&nbsp; How can a collector know if a fixed price represents great value?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a herd mentality at auctions.&nbsp; If there are any bids at least one other person sees potential.&nbsp; This makes it easier to imagine acquiring the coin, enticing more bidders.&nbsp; Maybe a few perform due-diligence and find something like an old auction sale that reassures them to bid more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use the “wish list” feature on fixed price sites.&nbsp; If my auction bids fail consistently I can cushion the blow with some really nice alternates.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
