<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinman0456, post: 658726, member: 18177&quot;]Now I know for some this will sound like taking the thrill of bidding off the table.</p><p>&nbsp;Before you bid in any auction, be it coins, antiques or other collectibles, try this first.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) ask yourself,&quot; can I answer at lease five questions about this item, without having to go and research the answers? If yes, proceed to next step. If NO, STOP! NO BIDDING ALLOWED</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Is the item you are considering placing a bid on, worth the potential cost? In other words do you know the FMV (fair market value) of the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Do you truly have a need for the item, or is it simply desirable?</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Is this item the best quality or condition you can afford?</p><p><br /></p><p>5) Should I refrain, and do some more searching before buying. Restraint is a lesson well learned early.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
