<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 635221, member: 16948&quot;]GDJSMP, How can &quot;paying too much for a coin&quot; be considered too much when someone is willing to pay that price?&nbsp; YOU say it is too much based on your own standards, but what you don&#039;t get (and I mean no disrespect) is that not everyone has YOUR standards of what a coin is worth.&nbsp; If someone finds a coin that is &quot;just what he or she is looking for,&quot; it has all the bells and whistles, eye appeal, luster, spot and mark free, superior strike, etc., whatever that collector is looking for, then who is to say whatever amount he/she pays is &quot;too much&quot;?&nbsp; Isn&#039;t finding that special coin, or desire to own a unique coin that appeals to that person, part of the equation of what a coin is worth?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps YOU (or someone with a similar thought process as you) think it was too much to pay since you or someone like you would never pay much over whatever pricing guide you&#039;re using for that coin or any other similar coin, but that doesn&#039;t actually mean in reality it was &quot;too much&quot; to pay for that coin.&nbsp; I am willing to bet that if a coin was worth over that pricing guide to that person, then it will be so to another person.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(p.s. I am not even going to respond to your &quot;fool on Ebay&quot; buying a counterfeit scenario, because IMHO it was a very silly analogy and cannot be comparably applied here - it&#039;s like comparing apples to oranges - except let me say that, whether a counterfeit was &quot;obvious&quot; is based on one&#039;s experience, and that &quot;fool&quot; probably bought the counterfeit unknowingly and unwittingly, and I don&#039;t think that necessarily makes him or her a fool.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
