[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2793647, member: 56859"]Isn't [I]my duty as a buyer[/I] to get the best deal possible? I often (and probably stupidly) err on the side of caving in and being to generous with my offers (example: not haggling, with a fixed price sale). Regarding "bid suppression" in the setting of ancient coin auctions, what is illegal about a person changing their mind about bidding? Also, if auction companies don't like their customers actually talking to one another and risking losing a bid, they can convert to a fixed price store. Problem solved. :rolleyes: Also also :D, for bid suppression to be a problem in coin auctions, virtually every possible bidder would have to be in on the plan. Not possible.[/QUOTE]
