<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 48578, member: 112&quot;]You have as good of chance as anybody. If you bid the market value or above of the coin you&#039;ll win - if you don&#039;t you won&#039;t. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the buyer&#039;s premium - I believe $10 is the minimum. Standard buyer&#039;s premium is 15%. So if a coin sells for less than $67.00 - you pay $10 buyer&#039;s premium. If it sells for more than that - you pay 15%.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that everybody is always worried about the buyer&#039;s premium on auctions. They act like it is some extra amount or something. Well it isn&#039;t an extra anything. It is just part of the cost of the coin. It doesn&#039;t matter WHAT amount the buyer&#039;s premium is - the coin still cost the same amount.</p><p><br /></p><p>Say you go to a shop to buy a coin - and the dealer wants $115.00 for the coin. If you agree that this is a fair amount for the coin - do you complain ? No you just buy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now sell the very same coin in an auction - it is no different. The same coin is still only worth $115. So what do you do ? Well you bid $100 and no more. Add in the 15% and you have $115 paid for the same coin. The very same amount as you paid in the shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>When bidding in auctions, just automatically subtract the&nbsp; buyer&#039;s premium percentage from your maximum bid. It&#039;s just that simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
