<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1336703, member: 23885"]I am all the time over paying for coins. For like 3 months in a row I would make a post on here asking if I got a good deal, and the answer was always the same.. Nice coin, but you over paid. For a short time it was discouraging/irritating, but it has defiantly paid off. The solid advice of how much I was overpaying started to sink in and made me do my homework. I greatly appreciate all of the solid advice which I first found offensive. Heck one time I paid close to 400 for an 1834 dipped Bust Half. I got murdered when I made a post about it. “You paid 400 for a 150 problem coin!?" I ended up parting with it in a trade+Cash for a nice draped half cent. The seller agreed to the value of 300 for the half. So I took a 97 dollar hit, but it was well worth it. I would advise my friends if I believed they were over paying. By the way I still over pay sometimes, and I still constantly post on CT for value on a coin. I believe if you make such a post just be honest of what you paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an anecdote: One guy said " This is a classic case of more money than sense."
