<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2327041, member: 19165&quot;]There are some coins I&#039;ve been watching on Ebay for YEARS. The prices are ridiculous. About once a year, I make a reasonable offer. I have to think eventually they&#039;ll cut their losses, or see reality, and sell me the coin. One example, when one seller first bought a coin I was interested in, I offered him a fair price for it. He decided to list it for $2k above what I thought was reasonable - 3 years ago. He has come down a bit, but we&#039;re still a grand apart, and it is still sitting there. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unless the price is absolutely absurd, I usually try to limit my offer to about 15% under what they have it listed for (and will generally accept a counteroffer at 10% off). If the 15% off doesn&#039;t get me to a price I&#039;m willing to pay, I just keep moving. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found that either the seller paid way too high a price for the coin (and is thus unwilling to take a loss), or the seller is trying to make a killing on the coin, and will wait for a sucker rather than not get as much profit as he was hoping for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
