<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 6752059, member: 99554"]I collect those Victorinus. I'm targeting to complete the whole collection one day. But here's the problem since the covid pandemic : before 2020, I was fighting only with other collectors around the world. Never with dealers. Why? Let's say a certain coin has a retail value of 100$. Let's suppose this coin is offered in an auction. Maybe I'm willing to battle up to 150$. Maybe another guy wants it more than me in his collection, so I can lose it; but the dealers weren't there because they have to make a profit on the coin when they resale it. So they will give up at 60 or maybe 75$, right? That was the situation in another world. That time is over, finito, c'est terminé ! Example: this coin was offered in auction lately.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1271662[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Very nice, not so common but worthing around 200$. Maybe 300$ on a crazy crazy day. That's where I stopped. Now guess what was the hammer price? 450€ ! Ok, ok, surely another wealthy collector need it more than I do, right ? That is what I thought. Until I see it for sale 2 days later on Vcoins for 720€....it's 1078.20 CAD...for a nice <i>Victorinus</i>... So now the war is against the dealers too...Anyway thanks for reading my post, I feel better now, the pressure is going lower...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
