<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 2617939, member: 83845&quot;]I noticed a lot in the recent Roma auction that I liked but I felt the starting bid was too high for the coin. Apparently I wasn&#039;t the only one who thought so as the lot went unsold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did manage to snag a nice sestertius from the auction (I will post it up as soon as I get it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and in my follow up on the invioce I made an offer on the unsold lot. I was sent a reply offering me the coin at the initial bid price plus 15% which of course I felt was too high to begin with.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is; should I simply politely pass on the offer or is it worth it To make another counter offer?&nbsp; Do any of you have experience with buying unsold lots? I&#039;m curious if it&#039;s standard practice for the auction houses to not go below minimum bid on unsold lots or if there is any wiggle room. I appreciate all of your thoughts in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; I believe the offer I made was fair and not a rediculous low ball. I would come up slightly but not much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
