<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2510204, member: 22331&quot;]All I can say is I&#039;m glad that buyers generally don&#039;t consider relative scarcity when buying/bidding, or advising others. I generally don&#039;t buy in auction fashion, but place my absolute bid in the final seconds. I don&#039;t bid in open consignment auctions where what&#039;s considered &quot;Shill Bidding&quot; is allowed for the &quot;House&quot;, or the &quot;House&quot; is been known to state/post a grade above that stated by the TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I don&#039;t personally keep track of what I consider to be &quot;Fair&quot; market bids, EBay currently reports that I&#039;m winning 86% of my auctions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe we all know that fair market price is determined by many variables, as is generally true of most commodities where a monopoly hasn&#039;t been &quot;assigned&quot;. Although I subscribe to publications, and follow markets, I bid based on projected value and market scarcity, independent of biased reports. I&#039;m a contrarian who has stated on this site a value for an item going into auction of 2-3 times the consensus value stated by majority. My&nbsp; prediction was correct, as have been &quot;extravagant&quot; winning bids relative to published value statements of &quot;experts&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe personal education is the best tool for bidding/buying, rather than following advise from possible fools, as us.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
