Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1341043, member: 26302"]I am just curious about a couple of things. "fair current market value" what is that? Redbook? You do know for a price guide listing to rise someone has to be paying OVER the listed amount for a while, right? I simply do not know what a "fair current market value" would be. Earlier I talked about some coins I bought. The current market on them on Ebay was less than $20. I bought every single coin. Was I greedy and not allow others to buy at a "fair current market value"? Today those same coins go for $80-150 each, as Cleo VII is the "famous" one. I am not trying to pick on you, just make a point that in collectibles there IS no predefined values, its what someone will pay. Now if you are inconvenienced by someone at an auction you are at paying $30 for a coin you can buy at a coin show for $27, then you profit by your superior knowledge and obtain the item for less. Same as the people buying on the TV shows, you know better so you can afford more coins for your hard earned dollar. Now, if you CAN'T buy the same coin at a coin show, then just maybe that buyer knew its true value better than you. Its always about knowledge in coin collecting. I simply view it as "Boy, am I glad I am not THAT guy, and thankfully I know where to get it cheaper." <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
