[QUOTE="Zzyzzyth, post: 824159, member: 21495"]If I were selling on E-Bay, I would do the same thing. I would set a minimum (within reason). Otherwise, I would think that you leave yourself open to take a hit on fees, shipping, etc. Also, other times I have just made an "opening" bid just to see if there is any other interest in the coin and sometimes there is no other competition. I don't mean that I place a cutthroat bid trying to steal the coin, I just bid a price that would be a bargain to me. If I get outbid then I bump it up to the max I'm willing to pay. But, sometimes, there just seems to be no other interest and I get the coin at my bargain price. I don't know if it is the lack of interest in the particular coin, or maybe just the timing of the listing and I just happen to hit a couple day span where nobody seen it. I don't want it to sound like I'm trying to take advantage of anyone, but there have been too many times where the coin arrives at less than what the listing described, so I start at my bargain price.[/QUOTE]
