<p>[QUOTE="VirginiaMan, post: 2649039, member: 82316"]My approach WAS attending auctions (historical documents, autographs, etc) for years in my "early days" of building collections. Interesting enough, I was finding myself going over my intended "target price" (always figuring into my bid the Buyer's Premium) because of the "hunt-energy in the room-excitment of the chase". Now I simply deeply and aggressivley evauate and "Value-Research" the coin i'm interested in. I average recent sales of like-wise coins; compare that to "price-list-values"; compare condition/eye-appeal/flaws & pluses/and "value". At that time I fix on a "buy-it-value" and that becomes my max price to bid. Since "no-one" knows my max price, I just place that bid in. If I get out-bid ....so be it. There is ALWAYS another "like" coin in another auction around the next corner. .....works for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
